RYAN GARCIA HAS FOUGHT 'THE BEST OF THE BEST' 🥊

 

EXCLUSIVE: DEVIN HANEY I DON'T WANT MY KID ON MY EX'S SOCIALS ... 'Cause Of Her OnlyFans!!!

Devin Haney Slams Ex’s Request To Post Child On Social Media, Cites Her OnlyFans
EXCLUSIVE

Devin Haney is firing back after his ex-fiancée, Leena Sayed, filed legal papers in hopes of posting their kid on social media without his approval -- claiming her OnlyFans career is a good reason to keep their one-year-old off her pages.

As we previously reported, Sayed wants to modify the couple's custody order on their kid ... so she can share pics of Khrome without Haney being involved. As it stands, both sides have to sign off on any kid pics on the internet.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ Sports, Haney's legal team said the stipulation "does not unduly restrict Leena's self-expression," after she claimed "social media is an important part of how I share my life with friends, family, and my social media followers."

"That posting restriction, however, does not restrict Leena's ability to tell her followers all she wishes about 'her role as a mother,'" Haney's attorney, Rick Edwards, wrote.

Haney claims "Leena's self-objectification and encouragement of sexual fantasies via her postings on OnlyFans and on Instagram means that some of her internet 'followers' do not follow her because of her motherhood."

Haney's team included multiple exhibits from Sayed's OnlyFans page, which include captions like "All set for an orgy" and that she is "looking to juice a c***, any c*** will do."

"They are all of course protected by free speech," Edwards wrote. "And sex sells. But it takes one unbalanced fantasizer to create risk for [their child] Khrome."

The filing adds ... "The common sense point is that a celebrity's child on social media invites trouble. And Leena presents herself not only as a celebrity, but as a wealthy and fantasy-inducing celebrity."

Devin also addressed Leena's point that she can only share posts about their child if she is in "some proximity to his presence" -- including an exhibit in which he reposted a picture of Khrome watching him fight in Saudi Arabia.

"I learned that Leena wanted to post a picture showing the back of Khrome’s head in front of a television screen on which I appeared in the ring," Haney wrote. "I approved. I was carried away by the fight’s result and by seeing Khrome watching me, and did not exercise appropriate caution."

The 27-year-old's legal team wrapped things up by saying, "Enough is enough." and asking the judge to deny her request.

OSCAR DE LA HOYA DECLARES VERGIL ORTIZ JR. THE "GOLDEN TICKET" OF BOXING: SAYS ONLY ORTIZ CAN FILL COWBOYS STADIUM AND DELIVER NEXT MEGA-FIGHT

(Credit: Golden Boy Promotions / Cris Esqueda)

By Elliot Raines: Promoter Oscar De La Hoya says his fighter, Vergil Ortiz Jr., is the “golden ticket” for all other boxers from 147 to 154 to fight for them to be part of a “mega-fight” in front of a full Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Ortiz (23-0, 21 KOs) is facing a major test against Erickson Lubin (27-2, 19 KOs) this Saturday, November 8th, that will affect whether he becomes the star that De La Hoya predicts.

COWBOYS STADIUM DREAM

Vergil Jr. is still largely unproven at 27, and he’s not exactly looked like gold in his last two fights at 154 since being matched against the solid B-level fighters, Israil Madrimov and Serhii Bohachuk. Lubin, another B-level fighter, could prove to be too much for Ortiz Jr., which would foil Oscar’s vision.

If WBC interim junior middleweight champion Ortiz Jr. loses this fight, it would put De La Hoya in a tough spot of having to explain what happened and confront the truth about his fighter. He’s not as good as he thinks he is.

“Ennis is going to tell Eddie, ‘I don’t want Vergil next. Give me another tune-up fight.’ Vergil Ortiz right now is so hungry to win a world title,” said De La Hoya to the media on Thursday, talking about Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and his promoter, Eddie Hearn. They plan on being ringside for Ortiz Jr’s fight against Lubin.

The vision thing that De La Hoya dreamed up won’t materialize if he chooses not to match Ortiz Jr. against Ennis next. A fight against WBC junior middleweight champion Sebastian Fundora won’t be big enough to fill the Cowboys Stadium or bring in a massive number of PPV buys on DAZN.

Vergil Jr. needs ‘Boots’ Ennis for that because he’s arguably the most popular fighter now that Terence Crawford has abandoned the 154-lb division, moving up to 168.

“Him winning on Saturday night and him fighting ‘Boots.’ He has another thing comin’ because Vergil is coming with everything,” said De La Hoya.

GOLDEN TICKET VISION

“Vergil Ortiz, whatever weight class he’s in, everyone follows because everyone knows that wherever he’s at, that he’s the golden ticket. He’s the only one who knows that he’s going to be able to fill up the Cowboys Stadium,” said De La Hoya.

Ortiz Jr. needs to look great against Erickson on Saturday and not struggle the way he did against Madrimov and Bohachuk. He didn’t look like anyone’s ‘golden ticket” in those fighters. But even if he’s outstanding, he’ll need one of these fighters to sell out Cowboys Stadium:

• Jaron Ennis

• Ryan Garcia

• Devin Haney

None of the other 154-lb fighters besides Ennis can bring in the numbers. The 160-lb division is devoid of names. Ortiz’s bet is Ennis, and the 147-pounders Ryan and Haney.

“Just like he told Jerry Jones when he was a kid coming up, ‘I’m going to fill that stadium for you,’ and I believe it now. But he’s the only one who can do it. Without Vergil Ortiz, no one can do it now. If we make Vergil against anyone in his next fight, it’s going to be a mega-event.

BOXING POUND-FOR-POUND RANKINGS: DOWN AND OUT; WHO REPLACES DEVIN HANEY IN THE TOP 10?

 In one of the most entertaining fights between two of boxing's young stars this year, Ryan Garcia defeated Devin Haney by majority decision Saturday night at a packed Barclays Center in New York City.

Garcia (25-1, 20 KOs) entered the fight surrounded by controversy, erratic comments and questions about his readiness and fitness to fight. To top that, Garcia was 3.2 pounds over the weight limit the day before the bout.

But as soon as the bell rang, Garcia showed his speed and power and wobbled Haney with his trademark left hook to the chin. Haney recovered well, and won the next four rounds in all three judges' scorecards, but Garcia took over the fight in Rounds 6 and 7, connecting 28 power punches while Haney only landed five. Garcia outlanded Haney the rest of the way 50 to 34 and knocked him down three times (Rounds 7, 10 and 11).

"I shouldn't have put too much pressure on myself to stop him, because every time I hurt him, I went crazy and I couldn't stop him," Garcia said after the fight. "I think the ref [Harvey Dock] should've stopped the fight. [Haney] was really hurt. I felt bad, I even looked at [Bill Haney, Devin's father and trainer] to stop the fight."

The loss sends Haney out of the top 10 from his previous spot at No. 6, opening the door for Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez to make his debut in ESPN's P4P rankings. Garcia received a few votes but not enough yet to crack the top 10.

"After the way Garcia was able to break through Haney's defense, and the tremendous power he displayed with three knockdowns, Garcia cracks my top 10," ESPN boxing writer Mike Coppinger, who ranked Garcia at No. 9 on his list, said. "Haney looked untouchable against Regis Prograis. And while Garcia had a weight advantage, he still was able to land flush on Haney's chin with surprising frequency."

Timothy Bradley Jr., a two-division champion, current ESPN boxing analyst and member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, left Haney out of his list after the loss.

"Haney was beaten by a fighter who admittedly was drinking and smoking weeks out before their match," Bradley said. "Someone who was out partying nights before their battle. Someone that has never participated in a championship contest. Haney is talented but is no longer a P4P fighter at the moment."

DEVIN HANEY VS. RYAN GARCIA | FULL CARD FLIGHTS HIGHLIGHTS

ONCE COUNTED OUT, GARCIA NOW 'CALLING ALL THE SHOTS' - WHAT ABOUT HANEY?

 NEW YORK -- Ryan Garcia was laughed at, mocked and called a clown by Devin Haney. At no time during the lead-up to his fight with one of the pound-for-pound best was Garcia taken seriously.

That is, until the opening minute of Saturday's fight, when he rocked Haney with one of his blinding left hooks. Right then and there it was clear: For all of Garcia's wild antics, and they were plentiful, he was more than game.

This despite the fact Garcia admitted he drank alcohol during training camp and was even seen shirtless at a New York club the Monday evening of fight week. Haney, on the other hand, is regarded by boxing industry insiders as one of the most disciplined fighters in the sport.

"[Ryan] is calling all the shots. If anybody wants to make money, they have to fight Ryan."

Osca De La Hoya

But Garcia (25-1, 20 KOs) owns the great equalizer with his hands that are as heavy as they are quick. There were questions about Haney's chin, but he had never been knocked down in 31 previous pro fights. Garcia, 25, proceeded to plant him on the canvas three times (Rounds 7, 10 and 11). He hurt Haney (31-1, 15 KOs) on several other occasions, too.

Garcia prevailed by majority decision (112-112, 115-109 and 114-110) in the biggest win of his career, and his promoter Oscar De La Hoya said his fighter is now "calling all the shots. If anybody wants to make money, they have to fight Ryan."

Haney, meanwhile, remains the WBC junior welterweight champion in defeat after Garcia missed the 140-pound limit Friday by 3.2 pounds. But his No. 6 ranking on ESPN's pound-for-pound list? Vanquished. And if a rematch is going to happen, it seems destined to take place at 147 pounds after Garcia said he would campaign at welterweight going forward.

He even mentioned a shot at Sebastian Fundora, the 6-foot-6 champion at 154 pounds. When you score the sort of major upset Garcia pulled off, all sorts of possibilities that seemed outlandish mere hours earlier are now in play. Especially when you consider Garcia's incredible star power with 18 million-plus social media followers.

A rematch with Gervonta Davis, who scored a seventh-round KO of Garcia in last April's superfight, is an intriguing option if Davis defeats Frank Martin on June 15. However, that bout is for Davis' 135-pound title. De La Hoya said he would entertain a rematch at a 145-pound catchweight. Davis-Garcia was fought at a 136-pound catchweight with a same-day rehydration clause where 146 pounds couldn't be exceeded.

"I had no mind; I was dehydrated. It was really bad," Garcia, who entered the bout rated No. 9 by ESPN at 140 pounds, said regarding that weight cut. "I should have actually died cutting that weight. I should have really, but God protected me because I was blistering out of my mouth. I had no spit. It hurt every day to make that weight. I was shaking in the bed."

It was expected the title would become vacant, but WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman mentioned precedent with the 2005 rematch between Diego Corrales and Jose Luis Castillo. Corrales stopped Castillo in the historic first meeting but was knocked out in Round 4 of the second bout after Castillo was overweight for the WBC lightweight title bout.

Haney is in line for a step back in opposition after the brutal nature of the fight -- his cheeks were badly swollen -- along with the torrid run he has been on. The 25-year-old twice traveled to Australia to defeat George Kambosos Jr. in 2022.

Last year, Haney outpointed future Hall of Famer Vasiliy Lomachenko to retain his undisputed lightweight championship, then moved up to 140 pounds in December to shut out Regis Prograis for a second division title.

Like Garcia, Haney, too, endured a challenging weight cut and could move up to welterweight. If he remains at 140 pounds, Haney could fight his mandatory challenger, Sandor Martin, the Spaniard who sent Mikey Garcia into retirement with a major upset win in 2021 and then dropped a controversial decision to Teofimo Lopez the following year.

Whatever Haney does next -- title or not -- it's clear that De La Hoya is right: Garcia is the one now calling the shots.
