Devin Haney Rumored to have Asked DAZN to Remove Video of him boxing against Ryan Garcia

Boxer Devin Haney has been accused of attempting to erase the footage of his bout against Ryan Garcia that took place on April 20th. According to reports, Haney allegedly contacted DAZN, the streaming platform that broadcast the event, and requested the removal of the video.

The claims surfaced after Garcia took to Instagram to express his gratitude towards DAZN and YouTube for refusing to comply with Haney’s supposed request. “Wow, thank you, DAZN, for not allowing that to happen. Bro tried to erase it off the internet. That’s crazy. Also, a request to YouTube,” Garcia said in his social media post.

However, Haney has vehemently denied these allegations, calling them “cap,” which is slang for false or untrue.

The bout between Haney and Garcia was initially ruled a no-contest by the New York State Athletic Commission, adding to the controversy surrounding the event. Despite the official ruling, the footage of the bout, which purportedly showed Garcia dominating Haney, remained available on DAZN and YouTube.

The idea of Haney attempting to have the footage removed has sparked a debate among fans and observers. Even if DAZN and YouTube had acquiesced to his request, the reality is that the footage would have been nearly impossible to erase from the internet completely.

“No matter how often YouTube deleted the videos, new ones would spring up just as fast as that fight, and Haney wouldn’t be able to erase the reality of what happened that night,” the news source states.

The situation has left fans and the boxing community wondering about the integrity and transparency of the sport. As the truth behind Haney’s alleged request remains uncertain, the incident serves as a reminder that the digital age has made it increasingly difficult to control the narrative and erase the past.
