Undisputed lightweight champion Devin Haney was arrested on Thursday morning following a night out in Hollywood … after cops say they found a semi-automatic handgun in his car during a routine traffic stop.
The 30-0 fighter — who’s coming off a huge win over Vasiliy Lomachenko — was out at Catch L.A. on Wednesday … when just minutes after he left the hotspot around midnight, law enforcement tells TMZ Sports cops pulled over his ride due to an unsafe lane change and a failure to use turn signal.
According to authorities, Haney was not driving … but the person who was told officers during the stop there was a firearm inside of the ride.
Cops say they then got Haney and his security out of the car … and when they searched the vehicle, they say they found a semi-automatic handgun under the driver’s seat.
Law enforcement tells us … no one took ownership of the gun — and since the car was registered to Haney, he was arrested and booked for felony possession of a concealed weapon.
Jail records show he was released at 8:12 AM Thursday on $35,000 bail. He’s due in court for a hearing on the matter next month.
Haney was finally coming to terms that he really lost the fight to Loma. You said you would never lose to a white boy, but Loma sure straightened out your fro. Fake champ.
Haney is innocent. CA is an absolute joke with their WOKE LIBERAL BS. Free Haney. Remove every lame Dem the state has. BLM SUCKS.
Yeah those woke liberals always persecuting blacks huh?
Yes I agree white police always chasing blacks and blacks always doing something wrong …right???
People need to realize that while people don’t like cops either; white lives matter too
This is going to shock you, but BLM works for racist Whites, and often harm Blacks. Trump helped the Blacks. Both Racist Joe Biden & bIRAQ oBOMBa (aka Barry Newports) never help Blacks.
A little history lesson. Obama’s mother’s ancestors were all slave owners. 100% of Obama’s father’s African ancestors were slave capturers. Enslavers. Obama is prejudice against Blacks, and so is AOC. AOC’s fiancée is pure White. That is correct. Obama is prejudice against Blacks. Do your homework, Bobby.
L.J. Why are you always throwing out your politics on a boxing site? Not only are your opinions oversimplifications and generalizations, but they also serve to make you look crazy, out of touch, and ignorant because you word it all in negativity and with a complete lack of coherence. You’re making yourself look like a weirdo and you’re not changing anybody’s mind.
If I wanted a joke, Id watch you take a leak, u slap of meat!
“If I wanted a joke, Id watch you take a leak, u slap of meat!”
– The most ignorant comment on this thread so far………
Johnathan York, save that nonsense for your homies, for when you go back to state prison.
See what I mean L.J. You’re ignorant and off base. I’ve never been to prison but you sure seem to give off that vibe. Keep it to boxing or save it for another site. You’re not proving any points here and you’re only making yourself look like a fool. Just let it go yo.
Mr. York, you are putting your illiteracy on parade. Take a remedial English class. The judge might show some leniency the next time you get arrested.
What’s really sad is you like your own posts, and are clearly threatened by educated people. You’re just making yourself look worse. Let it go. It’s all in your head.
I couldn’t agree more with your post. Either he does this to annoy everyone, and to engage in fruitless arguments, and counter arguments in a boxing forum, or the poor soul has lost all of his marbles and just rambles his mind away
They’ve definitely lost their marbles.
Haney is not 30-0 except on the crooked Mafia Vegas scorecards.
Guaranteed he’ll just get a slap on the wrist, if even that, there in Commyfornia.
What a sadness honey is a great fighter I know he lost against lomachenko but even so he could have a bright boxing career as long as he wants it
As long as he avoids shakur stevenson like the plague!
And avoids tank, Loma again, frank martin, and probably even two Lopez.
I hate autocorrect.
Hopefully, he won’t follow the path of Gervonta
Guns,nothing but evil instruments of doom,,,, America look at your recent history… appalling!
This news doesn’t surprise me
“Guns, nothing but evil instruments of doom”
– If it weren’t for guns, America would still be a British colony………
Nothing serious, he’ll be alright.
Very true. We dont know all details of this incident. In addition, in most cases, they will plead the charges down if the prosecution and the defense can come to terms.
Its not, this is just a kick a man while he’s down session.
All the Loma fan boys still butthurt he didnt do enough to snatch Haneys Undisputed titles. And their hope is finished.
Haney is rich and popular. He would be silly not to ride around with security and protection.
The champ out living his life, he’ll be alright.
NJ, that was not someone considered popular leaving that ring after his last fight. Rich, maybe he is, but that fight with Loma will haunt him till he is done boxing. He ain’t the man, he is just the man who falsely holds the belts for the time being.
@NJ That post was an absolute kick in the groin for a select few on here. Not sure how popular Devin is, but otherwise I totally agree.
USF, I was wondering when you were going to rear your ugly head. Looks like they are censoring my posts. It’s clear that you are all up on the peanuts of NJ. Like always you can’t think for yourself. Why don’t you ask him for his number. DA.
“Looks like they are censoring my posts.”
Thanks for the update on that, because I was really concerned about whether or not FightNews was allowing you to post what you wanted. Be sure to keep me updated on future posting attempts here on Fightnews.
When it comes to you, I couldn’t help but notice that the later in the evening that you post, the bigger the dingleberry you are. I mean, I’m not saying you’re NOT a dingleberry in the afternoon, just saying you’re REALLY one from around 9pm until bedtime.
I don’t know why black people always have guns??? I thing having guns are for cowards
Go on down south, white people carry guns like it’s some sort of honor.
What this has to do with Boxing?
Exactly. Plus why do so many Black men get themselves into these situations?
Carrying a gun means you’re scared. Stupid to be scared.
Does having life insurance mean your scared of dying? Does having car insurance mean your scared of wrecking? Does home insurance mean your scared of the unknown?
Or do you have these things to insure your property and family are safe and taken care of? I conceal carry and just like insurance, I have and hope I never use it. Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
Good! Its karma for not giving loma a rematch. Chickenshit false champion.
This ain’t the kind of arrest that will negatively effect anything for him. It’s just bad publicity, nothing more.
fine his 250 K and i guarantee problem solved
pigs. theyre always around when you dont need em and never around if you do.
Blame the elected leaders. Cops can’t enforce anything there so they go after dumb stuff like this
How about if you are hired personal protection, you drive properly and comply with the local laws about any fire arms you have for the job so you don’t get your protectee arrested?
I wish more people would break the dumb laws than follow them. Too many followers
I wonder how many people they passed shooting up and destroying city property before making this traffic stop. LA really has their priorities in order
Big deal! If the authorities in USA would search every car in a given day, they will find more weapons than the ones you could in the Ukrainian war
haney escapes with a win over loma now he must escape this mess some fighters just seem to find ways to get into trouble get a good lawyer haney and bring your money
What a shame. This is one of the oldest stories across all cultures and countries: be careful of the company you keep.
If it’s his or not, we don’t know. If he knew about it, we don’t know. We live in such strange times that any any scenario is possible.
Bob Arum: Well Devin, I see that you’ve found yourself in a sticky situation. I would love to help, but we can only offer assistance to our long term fighters. If you wish to renegotiate, perhaps I can pull some strings and make this all go away. It would be a shame that a talented champion who is sure to be a future hall of famer would lose his prime years at the very least because of a gun charge. Think about it and let me know.
Sorry, it’s the first thing that popped in my mind. Happy Friday everyone.
worthless human being!
I don’t know Haney and probably will never meet him, but based on California crime statistics, having a gun to protect yourself is probably a sign of intelligence. Are you really going to have time to call the police when you are being carjacked?
You make some of the best posts, Bruce!
I’m ashamed to even be a part of this boxing community anymore.
Like seriously, is this the dialogue that grown ass men are engaging in nowadays?
THIS IS BOXING!
Most of you sound super moist and feminine. There’s no room for that suspect activity here! You can tell who are the cowards and frank eaters in real life by how they respond and interact with real men.
Furthermore, if anyone with eyes and a heartbeat thinks that Haney lost that fight…… then uncle Roger was right.. You don’t know ish about boxing!!! This sport is definitely not for you! And I’m a die hard Loma fan since the amateurs. But truth is truth!
It’s not about race, color, geography, class or income! This is the sweet science baby, it’s about will and skill, nuts and guts!
Leave the politricks and pillow talk for your boyfriends.
That’s the problem with you internet divas, all you suckers with skirts on always wanna mingle with the real men!
A bunch of turkeys! Stay in your lanes princesses!
The real issue with this story is why none of Haney’s entourage took the charge so the champ could walk free! He’s the cash cow, its only right to protect the investment!
Truth, Gee, you sound just like the ones you are complaining about. An internet warrior. I agree that some go to tremendous distances to prove a point, but that’s life. Talk stuff back or ignore it. What gets me is that you say people don’t know ish about boxing if you believe Loma won. How? Watching the fight, you see that Loma landed the heavier shots, the more meaningful shots while Haney pitty patted his way to the end. He had Haney on his back foot most of the fight and took it to him. This was not the Romero/barroso fight. Maybe it’s you that doesn’t know ish about boxing or maybe you just have a different opinion about a closely contested fight. Remember, you can win an unanimous decision like 8-4, but the fight was still close. I don’t like Haney, I will never like Haney, but if I saw that he won outright, I would say it, but he didn’t. As you say, truth unedited.
Maybe not the best crowd to roll with, but doesn’t sound like a big deal. Out partying on a Wednesday night, that’s what young folk do. It’s good he’s out having some fun. (save for getting arrested) I hope Haney isn’t the boxing version of Todd Maranovich. Remember that football player extarordinaire whos father micromanaged every step of his life so he could become an NFL quarterback and ended up a heroine addict?
Yep, they called Marinovich “Robo QB” back then. I don’t know exactly how much Devin’s Father micromanages his personal/professional life, but I seriously doubt he’s as suffocating as Marinovich’s Father was. That was just an extraordinary situation. The 24/7 supervision he went through had to be maddening I would think.
Not sure about gun politics (so please excuse if I miss the mark). I would think the gun is either an illegal market weapon or a registered firearm. If legit. Who is the gun registered to? If not registered it’s an illegal firearm.
You need to carry protection just in case Jake Paul steals your hat.
He should buy some new friends.
Haney WILL beat the charges, and so will Tank Davis. They will box one another soon.
The 2 big fights coming soon.
Haney vs Tank.
Haney vs Tank will be on both ESPN & Showtime Pay Per View.
Never liked him and think he’s very overrated.
Coming off a huge win……don’t make me laugh! Coming off a controversial victory, more like. Bloody reporters…full of BS.
Lol another fake Muslim Exposed. Mentally weak after the questionable “win” over Loma. Hanging with the homies yes men just derailed his career…
Damn….I honestly thought he was arrested for impersonating a boxer.
While I’m no Muslim. It seems as though Muslims stick to their principles more so then Western Christians who will do and promote anything for a buck. 350 Mass shootings in the USA last year, predominantly done by white males, white males also have the highest self inflicted gunshot suicide rates. All of this obviously has to do with the high crime rates in the black inner cities, absentee fathers, single mothers on welfare, drug dealing, high COVID death rates, and lower high school graduation rates than whites, Asians, and East Indians. Boy, it must be tough being a white male in America. However, we do appreciate your contributions. Thanks to white males, the NRA, the Constitution, and the 2nd amendment, 350 million guns are currently in circulation in the USA and there are 25 K gun deaths every year. You guys are the best, we appreciate your citizenry, couldn’t have done it without you. Peace!
Thanks for letting us know you hate the U.S. Constitution & 2nd Amendment. You probably
hate freedom of speech & freedom of religion too.
Just another democratic tool.
Ahhh yes, there is my favorite fellow racist, DMV. Shall we bring up the 13/50 statistic?? Blacks make up 13% of the population but are responsible for 50% of the murderers in the whole country. It’s all day every day. Also, a mass shooting is defined as a shooting that has more than one victim. So there is no question blacks commit more mass shootings than whites. The media just doesn’t like to report on it. Doesn’t get the views. Probably because no one cares.
Berserker, it’s funny how they allow DMV to spew his nonsense and do not censor him, but I alone have had three to four comments removed from this post alone. Typical liberal media.
Speaking of everyone’s favorite racist….it’s you again!!! Hi buddy! I wouldn’t go speaking about crime statistics since math is involved and you can’t do simple arithmetic. Enjoy that white privilege though, it’s clearly keeping you a tool of consumerist media while keeping you ignorant at the same time! Not that you need the help…..
Now, as far as Haney goes, it was a dumbass move keeping it around. If anyone in that car REALLY cared about him, they would have only had licensed firearms in there, but they DON’T, they just want his money. Same old story.
Isolated holding cell for 6 hours.
Thug life.
Peace.
Haney working on his ‘street cred’.
He hired security that carries a firearm illegally? Time to replace his security team. And why does he need security? He’s not Floyd Mayweather.
Fightnews: if you going to censor then do it fairly. Can’t help but notice there are several on here that have said worse, yet it’s still displayed. You can’t pick and choose.
