WBC junior welterweight champion (up to 63.5 kg) Devin Haney (31-1, 15 KOs), discussing the doping of his previous opponent Ryan Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs), said he felt something was off with his opponent.
"I can't say for sure. Obviously, it was a tough fight.
I'm a special fighter, so I've never fought a guy who was that much better than me. I've never been defeated like that, and I've fought the best fighters in the world. I felt something was wrong, but I didn't want to make excuses.
Boxing is a brutal sport, I could have lost my life in that ring. When a guy is on performance-enhancing drugs, it's dangerous," - Haney said.
In this fight, Devin suffered his first professional loss. However, subsequent tests found the banned substance ostarine in Garcia's system.
