The fight with Ramirez is Haney's first since his April 2024 showdown with Ryan Garcia. On that night, Haney was knocked down three times and lost a majority decision to Garcia, who closed as a roughly +650 underdog after a week where he seemed to be having a public breakdown, was drinking and missed weight.

Devin Haney got back into the win column with a unanimous decision victory over Jose Ramirez on Friday at Times Square in New York. Glenn Feldman and Mark Consentino scored the bout 119-109 twice, while Kevin Morgan had it 118-110.

Devin Haney hadn't fought since getting knocked down several times against Ryan Garcia last year. Dealing with legal matters and the injuries suffered at the hands of Garcia, Haney was ready to face "King Ry" in a rematch.
