“That is lengthy overdue,” Oscar De La Hoya mentioned on Struggle Hype Friday morning, “however I needed to get the authorized info so as earlier than clapping again.” The Corridor of Fame fighter turned excessive finish promoter then went on to deal with a lawsuit filed in opposition to his firm, Golden Boy Promotions, in addition to its fighter, Ryan Garcia by the workforce of Devin Haney, who Garcia surprisingly battered in a pay per view battle again in April. That battle, nonetheless, was not with out controversy as Garcia examined optimistic for the banned substance ostarine as not too long ago because the day of the battle. Garcia was subsequently suspended from the game in New York and the battle dominated a no-contest.
“A number of weeks in the past the Haney’ s filed a lawsuit within the state of New York,” De La Hoya mentioned, “in opposition to my fighter Ryan Garcia for battery, fraud and breach of contract.

De La Hoya nonetheless wasn’t finished. “And now, Invoice, you’re going to say that Ryan was doped up for the battle. The traces of ostarine had been so minute that professionals have mentioned it didn’t even matter and didn’t make a distinction. The reality is easy – that your son couldn’t block the left hook (of Garcia’s), he couldn’t keep on his toes with these nasty Uggs he was sporting, and he couldn’t deal with Ryan Garcia. Level Clean.”
De La Hoya then tossed the figurative ball to Haney’s court docket. “We’re all nonetheless ready to listen to the info from you Invoice,” he mentioned, “as a result of all of us watched that battle and we cant unsee it.”
