Bill Haney says negotiations are underway for a bout between Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson, and he believes the long-rumored bout could finally be moving closer to reality.
The outspoken coach and manager made the comments while discussing recent conversations involving Team Haney, Shakur Stevenson and Keyshawn Davis. According to Bill, a potential fight between Devin and Stevenson is already being discussed behind the scenes.
“What I can say is that it’s a battle on the table for Devin and Shakur with that group right now,” Bill Haney told Champside.
Haney was asked about reports linking Stevenson to Zuffa Boxing and whether that could affect the chances of making one of the biggest fights in the sport.
Bill indicated that the parties involved are aware of the ongoing talks and suggested that there is interest in seeing the fight take place.
“Well, we know that Eddie Hearn says that he doesn’t have the money to pay Shakur or Devin, right? On that platform. So that leads us to believe that Zuffa and that team, Turki and all those guys, want to make the fight happen,” Bill said.
The comments came as Haney continued to advance his proposal to face both Stevenson and Keyshawn Davis. Bill publicly offered to fight the two undefeated stars back-to-back earlier this week, arguing that promotional issues should not prevent the matches from being made.
“We’ll fight you first, and we’ll fight your big brother second,” Haney said as he described his message to Keyshawn Davis.
A Devin Haney-Shakur Stevenson fight has been discussed for years, dating back to their amateur rivalry. Both fighters became world champions, with Haney becoming boxing’s youngest undisputed champion and Stevenson winning titles in multiple weight classes.
While no official deal has been announced, Bill’s latest comments suggest that talks remain active as the boxing world waits to see what direction Haney and Stevenson take next.
