A proposed fight involving Devin Haney is still awaiting signature after a contract was sent the other way about a week ago, his father and trainer Bill Haney said during a brief interview outside the Mike Tyson Invitational.

Bill Haney indicated that the terms of the agreement had already been delivered and questioned why the agreement had not yet been finalized. He suggested the supply was strong enough that a delay was difficult to explain.
“They have a contract. It’s a week. No signature,” Bill Haney told Fighthype when asked about the status of the fight. “He said it himself. He said it was a great offer. I don’t know what the big delay is.”
Bill Haney also added a light jab while discussing the pause in negotiations, suggesting the paperwork may just be taking time to review.
“You know, when you say it might take a while to read the big words in that contract,” he said.
No additional details on the terms of the deal were released, although Bill Haney maintained that the offer has already been publicly described as favorable. The delay therefore appears to be related to the signing process rather than unresolved financial claims.
Bill Haney said the fight is tentatively targeted for late May in Las Vegas if the contract is completed.
“It looks like it could be done here in Las Vegas on May 30,” he said.
Haney said both sides have already publicly discussed the possibility of the fight, which he believes raises expectations that the paperwork will eventually be completed. The Haney camp continues to view the fight as the next logical step if negotiations wind down.
Until the paperwork is signed, the proposed fight remains unconfirmed, although the Haney side indicates that the deal has already been put before the opposing camp. Bill Haney has made it clear that he expects the fight to move forward once the contract is returned with a signature.
