Boxing star Devin Haney can breathe a sigh of relief — his felony gun charge has been dropped, TMZ Sports has confirmed.
The L.A. District Attorney says Haney’s case was declined last week due to insufficient evidence … but it was not announced until his court appearance on Thursday.
We broke the story … Haney was out in Hollywood on July 12th when the vehicle he was riding in was pulled over for an unsafe lane change and failure to use a turn signal.

Police said Haney — who wasn’t driving — and his security got out of the car … and during their search, they found a semi-automatic handgun under the driver’s seat.
No one claimed the gun, but the car was in Haney’s name … leading to his arrest for felony possession of a concealed weapon. He was booked and released on July 13th on a $35k bail.
Haney is currently one of the biggest stars in boxing and is one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the sport. The WBC just approved his next fight — Regis Prograis (29-1).
