Boxing Star Devin Haney Sues Ex-Fiancée Over $350K in Conditional Wedding Gifts
Professional boxer Devin Haney, the undefeated WBC lightweight champion known as “The Dream,” has filed a second lawsuit against his ex-fiancée, Leena Sayed, this time seeking the return of approximately $350,000 worth of luxury gifts he claims were given conditionally in anticipation of their marriage. The suit, filed last week in Los Angeles County Superior Court, alleges that Sayed is wrongfully refusing to return the items following their split earlier this year.
Details of the Lawsuit
- Items in Dispute: The gifts reportedly include high-end jewelry such as diamond pieces, an Audemars Piguet watch, and several Hermès handbags, all valued collectively at around $350,000.
- Legal Basis: Haney argues these were “conditional gifts” tied to their engagement and upcoming wedding, which never materialized. Under California law, such gifts can be reclaimed if the marriage doesn’t occur, as they are not considered irrevocable like unconditional presents.
- Court Filing: The complaint seeks a court order for the return of the items, plus any related damages and legal fees. No specific court date has been announced yet.
This marks the second legal action Haney has taken against Sayed in recent months. In August 2025, he sued her for extortion and defamation, claiming she made false abuse allegations to damage his reputation and custody rights over their daughter, Khrome Rose (born January 2025). That case stemmed from Sayed obtaining a temporary restraining order against Haney, which limited his visitation. Sayed has denied the extortion claims through her attorney, calling them “fabricated.”
Relationship Background
Haney (26) and Sayed (24), an entrepreneur and social media influencer with over 730,000 Instagram followers, began dating around 2023 and welcomed their daughter shortly after. They reportedly had a private engagement ceremony, but their relationship deteriorated amid custody disputes and public allegations. The couple’s split has played out partly on social media, with Sayed posting cryptic messages and Haney focusing on his boxing career, including his high-profile win over Regis Prograis in December 2023.
Haney’s attorney, Bobby Samini, emphasized in a statement: “Devin Haney has lived his life and built his career with integrity, discipline, and respect… Devin will not be extorted, intimidated, or coerced by anyone.” Sayed’s legal team has not yet commented on the new lawsuit.
Public Reaction and Context
The story has sparked discussions in boxing circles and tabloids, with fans divided on the drama. Haney, who boasts a flashy personal style including his own multimillion-dollar jewelry collection (featuring diamond chains and custom pieces from brands like Adamans), is no stranger to high-stakes battles—now extending to the courtroom. This comes amid lingering online buzz from a 2022 leaked jail call between Sayed and rapper Young Thug, where she expressed affection for him, predating her relationship with Haney but fueling speculation about her past.
As the case unfolds, it highlights the intersection of celebrity romance, wealth, and legal intricacies in modern breakups. Updates will likely emerge as court proceedings advance.
