    Devin Haney responds to rumours Ryan Garcia broke his jaw with health update and rematch demand

    Devin Haney insists he is fit and ready to rematch Ryan Garcia.

    The WBC super lightweight champion was dropped for the first time in his career en route to a majority decision loss to Garcia in New York on Saturday night.

    Haney was forced to pull himself off the floor three times after being knocked down in the seventh, tenth and eleventh rounds of their fight at the Barclays Center.

    A viral photo showing Haney nursing a swollen cheekbone led to rumours that he had suffered a broken jaw during the first defeat of his 32-fight career.

    Even Garcia posted about the theory, he tweeted: “Damn Devin has a broken Jaw Allegedly The name of the game I suppose What’s next?”

    However, the 25-year-old ended concerns about his health while calling for a rematch on X – formerly known as Twitter – a few hours after falling short against Garcia.

    Haney wrote: “Alhamdulillah Allah is the perfect planner he makes no mistakes.

    “Fought like a true champion. Got up off the canvas & kept fighting. I am 100% ok & would love to do it again while we both make weight.”

    “I have no broken anything btw way like I said I’m OK.

    “Same way you dish be able to take it.. I will be back InshaAllah.”

    Many people, including Garcia, suggested he broke Haney's jaw

    Despite losing his perfect record, Haney still has his 140lb belt.  

    The green and gold strap was originally supposed to be on the line until Garcia ruled himself out of contention for the world title after missing weight by 3.2lbs on Friday.

    So, Haney retained his belt even though Garcia got the win.

    Garcia said ‘No rematch’ straight after beating Haney and suggested that he will move up to the 147lb division, which is dominated by former undisputed champion Terence Crawford.

    Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis is the only other titleholder at welterweight as he holds the IBF title after being promoted from interim champion when Crawford was stripped of the strap.

    Only time will tell if he follows through with his move up in weight or if Garcia will fight Haney for an eighth time following their famous six-fight series as amateurs.

    Garcia wants to sit on his 4-3 lead for the time being, but Haney will be doing everything he can to secure an immediate shot at redemption.
