DEVIN HANEY stopped his eight-week sex ban before fights after having too many WET DREAMS.
The old boxing myth suggests avoiding sex builds up testosterone, despite studies debunking the theory.

And Haney, 24, found out the hard way not to refrain for too long.
He said on the Pivot Podcast: “I used to do the eight weeks, the weight week thing.
“And I couldn’t do it cause’ I started getting like wet dreams when it got closer to my fight.
“One day I had a wet dream the day of the fight, so I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t do it.
“When you’ve got too much testosterone, like too much built up, then your body is going to find a way to release it.
“So when you go too long, it’s too long.”
YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul, 26, infamously partially put down his loss to Tommy Fury, 24, on having a wet dream before the fight.
Haney returns to the ring on Saturday in Las Vegas, defending his undisputed lightweight titles against Vasiliy Lomachenko, 35.

The American won the belts against George Kambosos Jr, 29, last June and defended them in an immediate rematch in October.
But defending his WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO belts against Lomachenko acts as the biggest night in his career.
Haney said: “I’m going to put on a dominant victory.
“I’m going to go in there and impose my will on Loma and show the world how great Devin Haney really is, how versatile, how strong, how young, and how experienced I am in that ring.
“This is all a dream come true. I thank God for this every day. I watched fighters make their grand arrivals when I was a young kid.
“This is all a blessing, and I’m excited for Saturday night.”
