Devin Haney returned to the ring following his no-contest bout against Ryan Garcia, securing a victory against former unified light welterweight champion Jose Ramirez. The fight took place as part of a larger event headlined by Garcia vs. Romero.
Intended to build excitement for a potential Haney-Garcia rematch, the contest unfortunately proved to be remarkably dull and uninspiring. Both fighters showed minimal engagement, resulting in a fight with an exceptionally low punch count throughout the twelve rounds.
Despite the lack of action, Haney was ultimately awarded a unanimous decision victory with official scorecards reading 119-109, 119-109, and 118-110. However, this performance failed to win over new fans and significantly diminished interest in a future bout with Garcia. The reaction to the fight was so negative that Haney was reportedly not interviewed after the bout.
