Devin Haney Prioritizes Gervonta 'Tank' Davis for Next Fight

Devin Haney's next move in the boxing world has been revealed, with his father, Bill Haney, stating that Gervonta 'Tank' Davis is the top priority for his son's next fight.

What happened?

According to Bill Haney, speaking to Inside the Ring, Devin Haney's team has been in discussions with Davis's camp, with the potential for a catchweight fight. Haney emphasized the importance of a fair competition, stating that the weight should be determined to ensure a level playing field.

Why it matters for Devin Haney

The biggest obstacle to a Haney vs. Davis fight is Haney's mandatory title defense against Keyshawn Davis. If Haney chooses to fight Davis instead, he risks being stripped of his WBO belt unless the WBO grants a special exception. Despite this, Team Haney has made it clear that Davis remains their top target.

What comes next?

Devin Haney also expressed interest in making the Shakur Stevenson fight happen, but negotiations have stalled due to Stevenson's lack of response to a proposed agreement for a 144-pound catchweight. Haney's camp says the fight remains on the table, but until there is meaningful progress in talks, their focus has shifted to Davis.

In a separate conversation, Haney discussed Ryan Garcia, stating that Garcia has a spot on the list, albeit a lot lower than many would like. Haney emphasized the importance of Garcia's maturity and his team's willingness to work with him, particularly in regards to the VADA drug program.

Haney's team has made it clear that they are willing to work with Garcia, but they need to see significant progress in his maturity and his team's commitment to a clean competition.

The Haney vs. Davis fight is shaping up to be one of the most highly anticipated bouts in the boxing world, with both fighters looking to make a statement in the ring.

The stakes are high

The Haney vs. Davis fight is not just about the two fighters; it's also about the future of the boxing world. With both fighters looking to make a statement, the stakes are high, and the competition is expected to be fierce.

In the end, it will be up to Devin Haney and his team to decide whether to take on the challenge of fighting Davis or to focus on other opponents. One thing is certain, however: the boxing world will be watching with bated breath as this highly anticipated bout unfolds.
