Ryan Garcia is down but Devin Haney wants to punch him some more.

The result of the two fighters' bout in April has been overturned, with Garcia's victory taken away and Haney getting back his unblemished record. The fight was declared a no-contest by the New York State Athletic Commission due to the former's PED abuse before the fight.

Garcia will also not see competitive boxing for some time as he received a one-year suspension and was asked to forfeit $1 million in earnings to Golden Boy Promotions.

He will also pay a $10,000 fine for the drug use violation.

Do these punishments deserve comeuppance for Garcia? Haney thinks they're still light.

The current World Boxing Council (WBC) super lightweight title holder wants to pounce on Garcia even more.

"I think he should've been banned for even longer. I think he should be banned from boxing. And I think he should've been fined even more," he said.

Haney's camp has been vocal about their protest against the result of the April 20 fight. Garcia was hailed the winner based on majority decisions, but he and his father think he won.

Haney believes he lost lots of future money due to the loss that was powered by Garcia's drug abuse.

More legal actions against Ryan Garcia

Garcia's woes are not over even though he was already suspended for one year, as Haney's camp is considering more legal actions against him.

He believes he lost not only that fight but also the other possible bouts in which he could have earned more.

"My lawyers will do what they've gotta do to prove that in court against Ryan. We will take legal action because it has affected me - not only financially, but mentally and everything," he told reporter Michael Benson of Title Sports Net.

There is no scheduled fight yet for Haney, but over at X, he challenged Ryan Garcia to a rematch to settle everything once and for all.

"No bs tho I'm happy it's wasn't a DQ because I wouldn't wanna win like that once this suspension is over @RyanGarcia let's run it back. CLEAN on a even playing field.. Biggest fight n boxing!" he wrote.

Ryan Garcia vs Devin Haney, but on X 

The two continue to berate each other on X following the suspension announcement.

Garcia, who is already facing vandalism charges in California, responded to Haney's challenge by saying the biggest fight is not theirs but the one in which he fought Gervonta.

He also responded to Haney's plan to sue him even more for "hurting his feelings" and called him the softest man ever created.

Haney asked to settle it outside the court, but Garcia has yet to respond.

Instead, they had an exchange dragging P. Diddy to their dispute that borders on homophobia.
