Ryan Garcia gets into fiery verbal altercation with Devin Haney's dad during media workouts, fans react: "Yeah, Ryan destroyed him"

Ryan Garcia and Bill Haney, Devin Haney's father and coach, got into an intense verbal altercation during the media workouts at Times Square ahead of their respective bouts on May 2. The clip surfaced on social media, and fans quickly flooded the comments section with hilarious and fiery comments. Garcia and Haney are facing different opponents this week, Garcia against Rolando "Rolly" Romero and Haney against Jose Ramirez.

Still, the feud between Garcia and Haney dates back to 2024, where Haney suffered his first professional loss against Garcia, only to find weeks later that Garcia had tested positive for a specific PED (performance-enhancing drug) known as Ostarine. The result was then turned into a no-contest with Garcia facing a year's ban from boxing.

Meanwhile, ahead of their rematch this coming weekend, Garcia and Bill exchanged a few heated words at the media workout.

Ryan Garcia eyes another dominant performance against Devin Haney

Ryan Garcia sounded confident ahead of his potential rematch with David Haney. He plans to dethrone him once again and is eager to extend that challenge to Haney’s father, Bill Haney. Garcia said (via Ring Magazine):

'Oh yeah, I’m willing to show. I can’t wait. I’m going to put a whipping on his dad [Bill Haney], too. That’s really who I want to put a whipping on, but Devin can get it again. I’m going to do the same thing as I did last time. Maybe we can run it back in New York, too. Why not? Bring it back and do what I did to him last time.''
