Naturally, it is a confusing matter, to say the least, with many questioning why Devin Haney would have it out for a boxer like Devon Lee. Despite his unbeaten professional record, the Sacramento, California native has a long way to go before challenging Haney. As such, many assume that Devon’s friendship with Ryan Garcia was likely the root cause of his getting targeted.
For the most part, ‘The Great‘ has had a tough few weeks, with his brother Carl reportedly being murdered recently as well. Taking to his Instagram, Lee posted a scuffed clip of the aftermath of the altercation with both sides still arguing. Thereafter, he also gave a few statements in subsequent stories.
“They (Devin Haney’s team) caught me right after I was done training and just finished my workouts, so I was exhausted. Further, he added, “The good thing is my God is real so, once you get on his servants, you dealing with Jesus now”.
In one of his latest posts, Devon shared an update on his situation from the hospital bed. Having taken a lot of damage to his eye, cheekbone, and nose, the fighter was clearly in bad shape. Despite his condition, the boxer sent a warning to Devin Haney about their fight in the future. Lastly, the 29-year-old stated that he would be attending his brother’s funeral.
Fans react to the Devin Haney – Devon Lee altercation
All things considered, many have been itching to know the real reason behind why Devin Haney’s team attacked Devon Lee. According to the boxer himself, they claimed that it was a Muslim holiday and jumped him. With it being the Ramadan period, it still begs the question as to what ignited their squabble. Soon after the news went public, numerous parties began sharing their thoughts.
Taking his now-restricted social media account, Ryan Garcia also brought attention to the matter. Interestingly, some sources claim that Devon Lee was not jumped, but only confronted by Haney’s security guard, Big Tank. Additionally, many claimed that Lee was being disrespectful by causing a lot of nuisance during their prayer.
This claim was furthered by numerous sources including boxer Jamel Herring, who claimed “I was there… he didn’t get jumped”. Similarly, other fans soon started to have a go at Devon Lee, once it came out that the matter was much different than what he had described. With that said many claim that Lee is intentionally bringing a religious debate into the matter to drum up attention and try to get clout.
