As for Haney, he lost his undefeated status to Ryan Garcia last year after suffering a majority decision loss. However, the fight result was overturned to a no contest after Garcia tested positive for the performance-enhancing substance Ostarine. After a year, 'The Dream' made his boxing return last month and defeated Jose Ramirez via unanimous decision.
