Ryan Garcia posted his reaction to X being ambushed by Bill and Devin Haney at the Ring Awards in London last Saturday night. The Haneys confronted Garcia as he left, and Bill barked, “You're ducking.”
Ring Awards Ambush
“You can smell the desperation,” Ryan said on X about the Haneys.
It's clear that Bill & Devin are extremely desperate for a rematch with Garcia as it's Dev's biggest payday and he needs to avenge the nasty beating he suffered from Kingry last April in front of a packed Barclays Center Arena in Brooklyn, New York.
The alternatives for Haney aren't that good if he can't get a rematch with Ryan. Turki Al-Shiekh will want Devin to fight someone talented, and he could fall apart if the guy has power. A loss to Haney would permanently destroy his chances of a rematch with Garcia, and you have to wonder how Turki would view him after that. He could wear out his welcome with another loss.
Oh, now he's a businessman? π
We received an offer from @Turki_alalshikh already & accepted. Now is the time to accept and yes, you must start drug testing now.
So let's hear your answer “businessman” https://t.co/hpNWlpiDTV

Garcia said Bill and Devin need to drop their lawsuit against him for any chance of negotiating a fight. So far they haven't done that. So it's unclear why the Haneys continue to discuss seeing a rematch with Ryan as a “priority” in 2025.
Garcia says it's not just the lawsuit that stands in the way of a rematch with Garcia. They will have to agree to another drug testing agency because Kingry refuses to use VADA. He feels that he is “suspicious” that Bill is so committed to that agency, and he is suspicious.
Suspension of the lawsuit
“I came here for work Bill, you're gonna get that call π Just shut up, take the deal drop the lawsuit and do as you're told bum,” Ryan Garcia said on Xreacting to Bill Haney confronting him at the Ring Awards last Saturday, repeating that he was “bowing.”
You can smell a desperate person ππ You wonder why I keep quiet because I'm being sued
They're real cunts, trying to act like I got away with it after I've already yelled at him.
They test me for drugs too, but not Vada, so everything they said is lies, lies and more lies

The biggest job is on the table, and you can't fool Devin Haney in Riyadh's season, so you can see the direction they're goingβΌοΈπ§ππ½ pic.twitter.com/NRS52v0sqs
