Boxing star Devin Haney was arrested on Thursday morning following a night out in Hollywood … after cops say they found a semi-automatic handgun in his car during a routine traffic stop.
The 30-0 fighter — who’s coming off a huge win over Vasiliy Lomachenko — was out at Catch L.A. on Wednesday … when just minutes after he left the hotspot around midnight, law enforcement tells TMZ Sports cops pulled over his ride due to an unsafe lane change and a failure to use turn signal.

According to authorities, Haney was not driving … but the person who was told officers during the stop there was a firearm inside of the ride.
Cops say they then got Haney and his security out of the car … and when they searched the vehicle, they say they found a semi-automatic handgun under the driver’s seat.
Law enforcement tells us … no one took ownership of the gun — and since the car was registered to Haney, he was arrested and booked for felony possession of a concealed weapon.
Jail records show he was released at 8:12 AM Thursday on $35,000 bail. He’s due in court for a hearing on the matter next month.
Haney has become one of the biggest stars in boxing … after recording impressive wins in the last couple years over Loma, George Kambosos Jr., Joseph Diaz Jr. and Yuriorkis Gamboa.
Prior to his arrest, Haney got into a Twitter spat with Teofimo Lopez … and appeared to challenge him to be his next opponent.
