Shakur Stevenson Says Haney Fight Contract Is Already Signed: Blasts Haney Camp

Shakur Stevenson claims his side of the Haney fight deal is locked in

Shakur Stevenson declared on X that his agreement to face Devin Haney at 144 pounds is already signed, directly contradicting Bill Haney’s demand for a finalized contract. The 28-year-old American boxer posted on July 13, 2026: *“Stop it. My part been signed. U see who I’m wit.”* His message followed Bill Haney’s public call for the deal to be completed before any further steps are taken.

What happened between Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney’s camp?

Stevenson’s claim came after Devin Haney’s father and manager, Bill Haney, insisted no concessions would be made before a signed contract was in place. Stevenson responded by pressing Haney’s team to pick an opponent, arguing delays won’t change the options. *“Trolling can only last so long,”* he wrote, adding: *“It’s either me or Key: lose-lose either way now make y’all decision.”* He was referring to Keyshawn Davis, the mandatory challenger for the WBO welterweight title.

Why the WBO title is at the heart of the dispute

The WBO welterweight title has become the central sticking point in negotiations. Bill Haney has repeatedly stated Devin will not vacate the belt before an agreement is reached, while Stevenson did not mention that condition when finalizing his side. Bill Haney Promotions has also warned it will move on if the two camps cannot settle remaining details. The title’s status is now a major hurdle in securing the Stevenson-Haney showdown.

What comes next for Shakur Stevenson and the Haney fight?

Stevenson and Keyshawn Davis have long stated they do not want to face each other, leaving fans skeptical the match will ever happen. Stevenson’s latest comments suggest he’s ready to move forward, but Haney’s camp has yet to confirm or deny the signed deal claim. With both sides dug in, the next 48 hours could decide whether this fight becomes reality or collapses entirely.

Inside the war of words on social media

The exchange escalated on X, where Stevenson’s post drew immediate reactions. A tweet from Benji (@JhusLeftarm) on July 13, 2026, claimed Stevenson had inside information that Devin Haney is now *“committed”* to vacating the belt for Davis. The social media clash has only added to the uncertainty surrounding the potential fight, which was first floated as a high-profile matchup at 144 pounds.
