Devin Haney suffered a humbling loss to Ryan Garcia, but Garcia's win has been tainted for the moment.
The fallout continues from the recent news of Ryan Garcia's positive drug test following his win over Devin Haney. Here, Haney sits down with ESPN to give his personal account on his feelings on the matter and whether or not he'll seek a rematch with Garcia.
"Honestly, I'm not too interested in it," Haney said. "You know, during the build up we saw a lot of interesting things from him, we seen his character, we seen the guy cheat. We see the type of person that he is.
"I don't see myself ever, ever getting back into the ring (with him). But I'm a fighter, I'm speaking right now with how I feel, but we never know what the future holds."

Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn has also revealed that Haney was obviously quite upset regarding Garcia's positive drug test in their private conversations, but it appears like Haney will look to continue his fighting career on a path apart from Garcia moving forward.
