The battle between Devin Haney and his ex-fiancée Leena Sayed has moved from the boxing ring’s periphery to the courtroom, where Sayed is now fighting for what she calls freedom from the ‘legal chains’ binding how she can share her daughter’s life with the world.

So, what happened? Well, according to TMZ Sports, Sayed is hoping to post their child on social media. She is unable to do so under their current custody agreement without explicit permission from Haney. Their October 2025 custody agreement states that no pictures of the child can be posted on social media without written consent from both sides.

Sayed claims Devin Haney is using the custody agreement unduly

According to the filings, Sayed claims Haney is exercising the terms of their custody “in an unduly burdensome way.” She claims that she is unable to post any pictures of her child unless Haney is involved in the post. Sayed also presented three exhibits to prove her point. One showed text messages between the two, where she had asked to post pictures of the baby in matching pajamas.

However, Haney wasn’t okay with the post, so he responded, stating, “nothing with the baby.” Sayed was, however, allowed to post a picture of the child, where she was watching Haney’s fight in Saudi Arabia in October 2025. According to her, the main reason behind her demand to change the terms of custody is that “social media is an important part of how I share my life with friends, family, and with my social media followers.”

“Khrome, and her representation on my social media account, is important to me, and I want the right to be able to post her without the requirement of Devin’s approval, which I believe to be unduly withheld without judicial intervention,” she added in her declaration. A hearing on the matter has been set for later this month, but neither Haney nor Sayed has yet to publicly comment on the matter.

In a similar situation, Ilia Topuria and his ex-wife Giorgina Uzacategui are also currently having a custody battle over their daughter. In their latest appearance in court, Topuria is confident that he will see his daughter soon.

The current legal battle between Haney and his ex-fianceè isn’t the first time these two have met in court.

Devin Haney sued Leena Sayed for $350,000

Last year, Devin Haney sued Sayed, seeking the return of $350,000 worth of luxury gifts he claims were tied to their now-canceled wedding. According to a lawsuit filed at the time in Los Angeles County and reviewed by TMZ, Haney alleges he gave Sayed high-end items under the expectation that they would marry.

With the engagement over, the boxer argues California law requires the gifts to be returned and claims the situation has caused him more than $500,000 in damages. Sayed’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, strongly denied Haney’s claims, calling the lawsuit retaliatory.

“An extension of his campaign to punish her for having obtained a domestic violence restraining order against him,” Kaplan told TMZ, adding, “He needs to get real.”

It appears Leena Sayed is determined to gain more freedom in how she publicly shares her life with her daughter. But the question remains whether the court will grant that request. Share your thoughts in the comments below.
