“Davis vs Haney, the biggest fight of the year.⭐️”
Haney responded soon after, but instead of embracing the game, he shifted the focus to Stevenson.
“Me against Shakur … is the biggest. Our fight would be huge.”
The exchange is notable because it comes just days after Bill Haney publicly suggested that Shakur would be the preferred opponent ahead of any possible fight with Keyshawn.
While Haney didn’t completely dismiss Davis, his response made it clear which deal he sees as the biggest draw.
A Haney-Shakur fight has been discussed for years. The two undefeated stars have a long history dating back to their amateur days and have been linked regularly as professionals. Despite competing in neighboring weight classes for much of their careers, the fight has yet to materialize.
Keyshawn recently increased his pursuit of Haney, repeatedly calling for the contest and predicting it would produce one of the most memorable fights of the year.
Haney’s latest comment suggests that while he sees value in a fight with Davis, Stevenson remains at the top of his list.
Exactly how soon that fight can be made remains to be seen, but Haney’s response ensured that Stevenson was back in the conversation.
Davis insists on a showdown with Haney. Haney, meanwhile, seems more interested in talking about Shakur Stevenson.
