Boxer Devin Haney has sued his ex-fiancee over $350,000 in gifts – which she is allegedly not returning following the dissolution of their relationship.
Haney and Leena Sayed share daughter Khrome, and the 26-year-old is said to have gifted the mother of his child pricey items such as Hermes bags, an Audemars Piguet watch, a Chrome Hearts handbag, diamond jewelry and more while they were together. He is claiming to have suffered more than $500,000 in damages in total.
However, according to a Los Angeles County lawsuit obtained by the Daily Mail, Sayed is refusing to return the items. It is also alleged that Haney gave his ex large sums of money during their relationship.
And since it was Sayed who allegedly ended the relationship, she is required to give the items back under California law, Haney’s lawyers wrote in the document.
The Daily Mail has reached out to both Haney and Sayed’s lawyers for comment. The lawsuit was first reported upon by TMZ.
According to the lawsuit, Haney has also accused Sayed of assaulting two different women – leaving them both requiring stitches, which Haney claims to have paid for.

One of those alleged victims was Haney’s personal assistant, who Sayed ‘irrationally’ accused of being romantically involved with her fiancee, the lawsuit said. Sayed, meanwhile, previously accused Haney of domestic violence.
Haney’s latest lawsuit came after he sued Sayed last month over claims of extortion and defamation.
He reportedly claimed that Sayed ‘has repeatedly published false and defamatory statements about’ him.
Sayed was granted a temporary restraining order in June over alleged domestic violence from Haney.
She accused the boxer of abusing her several times throughout the past year, with the abuse allegedly beginning in February 2024.
In that case, she claims that he punched her in the stomach and kicked her out of their home in Las Vegas.
The following December, she alleges that Haney pushed her (while she was nine months pregnant) because she refused to give him her cell phone.
Sayed says in court documents that she fell on her tailbone after being shoved, and that Haney smashed her phone afterwards.
In text messages between the pair also featured in the documents, Haney also seemingly threatened her, writing that ‘problems’ that Sayed were starting would have to be ‘handled in the streets.’

When Sayed asked for Haney to clarify what he meant by that, he wrote: ‘U WILL SEE.’
Haney’s lawyers wrote in the previous defamation lawsuit that Sayed had ‘fabricated’ her domestic violence claims.
‘Devin Haney has lived his life and built his career with integrity, discipline, and respect,’ Haney’s attorney, Bobby Samini, told TMZ. ‘He has worked tirelessly to achieve success through dedication, not shortcuts, and he remains committed to conducting himself with honesty and principle inside and outside the ring.’
Meanwhile, Sayed’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, previously denied to TMZ that his client was extorting the fighter in any fashion.
And as for his latest lawsuit, Kaplan said that it ‘appears to be an extension of his campaign to punish her for having obtained a domestic violence restraining order against him after suing her civilly for what she had to provide to the court to get the restraining order. He needs to get real.’
Haney and Sayed are believed to have met around two years ago.
