On April 20th, Ryan Garcia beat undefeated super lightweight star Devin Haney in a 12-round DAZN boxing bout. Garcia's victory shocked the world, and he was incredibly proud of his success. However, the boxing star is making headlines for a reported PED violation that surfaced days after the fight.

Ryan Garcia tests positive for banned substance shortly after Devin Haney fight 

Per multiple sources with knowledge of the results, Garcia tested positive for the banned PED Ostarine in a VADA test related to the Haney fight, Dan Rafael reports.

It is unclear what Garcia's next steps are in response to the result. The news is surprising for Garcia, who looked incredible in his intense fight against Haney.

Garcia entered the match with an impressive record of 24-1, while Haney came in undefeated at 31-0. After being billed as the +550 betting underdog, Garcia knocked Haney down three times and won the judges' favor. Yet, what happened before the fight was equally as intriguing.

Upon weigh-ins, Garcia chugged a beer on the scales and came in 3.5 pounds heavy. As a result, he had to honor his $500,000 bet to Devin Haney for every pound he missed. The fight was still on, but Garcia's missed weight made him ineligible for Haney's Super Lightweight belt.

As expected, Garcia marketed his boxing matchup with maximum hype. Fans went as far as claiming he was crazy with how much confidence he had in himself, but his belief manifested itself through an impressive performance.

Garcia set the tone in the first round, putting pressure on Haney with incredible striking power. He eventually scored a massive knockdown in Round 7, the same round fans thought the ref “saved” Haney. Garcia did not stop there. He scored two more knocks in Rounds 10 and 11, which ultimately helped seal his win.

Devin Haney put forth a respectable effort as well, and the two stars were open to a rematch. However, depending on the outcome of Garcia's PED test follow-up, there may not be one. It will be interesting to see how things develop for Garcia amid the shocking news.

Will the lightweight boxing star be able to continue his stellar career?
