Boxing champion Devin Haney is facing serious allegations of domestic violence after the mother of his five-month-old daughter, Leena Sayed, accused him of repeated abuse, including pushing her while she was nine months pregnant.
TMZ Sports obtained court documents revealing that Sayed filed for a domestic violence restraining order (DVRO) last week, detailing a disturbing pattern of alleged abuse that began in early 2024 and continued through this month.

As of 3:16 PM PT, a temporary restraining order has officially been granted against Haney. The court also issued a no-contact order, banning the star boxer from any visitation with their daughter, Khrome, “until further order of the court.”
A formal hearing on the matter is scheduled for July 22, where both parties are expected to present their sides under oath.
???? What Leena Sayed Alleges
According to the court filings, Sayed and Haneyâs relationship began in 2023, but she claims things took a dark turn in February 2024, when she says he punched her in the stomach and kicked her out of their Las Vegas home during a heated dispute.
The alleged abuse escalated in December 2024, just weeks before she gave birth.
âHe pushed me while I was nine months pregnant, causing me to fall on my tailbone because I would not give him my cell phone,â she wrote.
âAfter I fell, he grabbed my phone and shattered it.â
???? Threatening Messages and Fear for Her Safety
Sayed also provided screenshots of text messages allegedly sent by Haney, where he warned her sheâd be âhandled in the streets.â
âWhen I asked what he meant, he said, âU WILL SEE,ââ Sayed claimed.
âI am afraid for my life, health, and safety.â
???? Concerns Over Infant Daughter, Khrome
Sayedâs legal filing doesnât stop at her own protectionâsheâs also seeking sole legal and physical custody of their five-month-old daughter, Khrome.
She cited an incident where Haney allegedly pierced the infantâs ears at just eight weeks old without her consent, describing it as ârecklessâ and part of a broader pattern of irresponsible behavior.
âThis is not an isolated event,â she wrote. âHe has repeatedly shown disregard for our daughterâs safety.â

âDevin has hurt me in the past by punching me, pushing me while pregnant, threatening me, and arguing with me in the presence of our daughter.
I am concerned about his behavior and worried that he will act upon his threat to me stating, âU will see.â
For the foregoing reasons, I am requesting a DVRO protecting myself and my daughter.â
???? Haneyâs Team Has Yet to Respond
TMZ reached out to Haneyâs reps, but no comment has been issued as of now. The boxing community, however, is already reacting to the story, with fans and insiders alike expressing shock and concern.
???? What Happens Next?
- Haney must now stay 100 yards away from both Sayed and their daughter.
- No visitation rights will be granted unless the judge rules otherwise in the July 22 hearing.
- If the court finds sufficient evidence to uphold the claims, Haney could face permanent custody restrictions and even criminal investigation.
???? Whatâs the Public Saying?
- âIf true, this is horrifying. No one should go through thatâespecially while pregnant.â
- âWhy is it always AFTER the fame that we see who people really are?â
- âThat poor baby. She didnât ask for this.â
???? Why This Case Matters
This case raises broader questions about domestic violence accountability, especially in high-profile relationships where wealth, fame, and image often complicate the truth.
The allegations against Haney are particularly chilling given the alleged timeline and vulnerability of a pregnant partner.
