Finally, the verdict is out. Ryan Garcia will be out of boxing for the next year. The ruling from the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) follows his reported failure to clear successive drug tests. According to the available information, apart from a year-long suspension, the young boxing superstar will forfeit some amount as a fine. The April 20 match against Devin Haney has now been declared a ‘No Contest’. It basically means that Devin Haney’s unbeaten record remains intact. Along with the rest of the fans and followers, ‘The Dream’ penned a few thoughts on the latest development.
He seemingly expressed relief that one of his initial requests regarding the case did not receive a sanction. Why? As it appears, the now re-instated light welterweight champion wants a rematch with Ryan Garcia on a level playing field. Devin Haney revealed in a separate tweet that he might not be hitting the ring for another year. Additionally, he appears to have set a precondition that might serve as a blueprint for his future games.
