Devin Haney recently denied the accusations regarding an attempt to persuade DAZN to remove highlights from his bout against Ryan Garcia. The bout has been mired in controversy ever since due to the pre-fight antics by 'King Ryan' as well as the failed drug test samples.
The bout took place this past April and saw 'King Ryan' earn a majority decision win, however, it was later overturned and ruled a no-contest after he tested positive for banned substances. Garcia recently took to his Instagram account to add more fuel to the fire as he posted that Haney attempted to have the highlights removed but his request was denied by DAZN. He wrote:
"Wow thank you DAZN for not allowing that to happen"
Despite the post, 'The Dream' was quick to address the post insinuating that he was attempting to have video evidence of their bout removed. Haney commented on the post and dismissed that rumor as being false information. He wrote:

Ryan Garcia sounds off on potential rematch against Devin Haney
Ryan Garcia recently sounded off on a potential rematch against Devin Haney as the two have continued to go back and forth on social media.
Their first bout received plenty of attention due to Garcia's antics but a rematch could be even greater, especially considering the fallout since the result was overturned to a no-contest. 'King Ryan' recently tweeted that it wouldn't be wise for Haney to pursue a rematch and referenced 'Rocky IV' to describe what would transpire. He wrote:
"I gave him [Haney] brain damage, if there is a rematch mark my words you'd actually die in the ring. Not saying I want that to happen. But like the Russian in Rocky 4 said 'If he dies, he dies'."
