Devin Haney says he’s doing an open exercise in London, England, this Friday, January tenth. It is a transfer for Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) to construct his model within the UK for will probably be a future battle in opposition to one of many Brits.
UK Takeover?
Haney isn’t well-liked within the UK, particularly after his final exhibiting in opposition to Ryan Garcia. If Devin desires to reinvent himself within the UK, it’d work, however it won’t work as a result of he doesn’t see a lot of a future combating within the U.S. past a well-paying rematch with Garcia.
Jack Catterall is the one man from the UK who is smart for Haney to battle. Nevertheless, Catterall isn’t well-liked there or within the U.S. Nevertheless, Eddie Hearn promotes Catterall, so it is smart from that angle.
If Turki Al-Shiekh is prepared to make use of Haney vs. Catterall for one in every of his Riyadh Season playing cards, Devin would have a pleasant payday. Catterall has zero energy, and it’s a winnable battle for Haney.
Broner or Farmer?
Haney, 26, is reportedly combating on March twenty fifth on BLK Prime in a PPV occasion. The opponent hasn’t been revealed but; veterans Tevin Farmer and Adrien Broner are rumored potentialities. It will mismatch if it’s going to be the previous four-division world champion Broner.
AB regarded and sounded fairly dangerous in a submit on social media this week. If he’s going to be Haney’s opponent, it reveals how determined he’s to get a sure-thing win. Broner didn’t appear to be he ought to be anyplace close to a boxing ring. What occurred to this dude?
The southpaw Farmer (33-7-1, 8 KOs) can be a dangerous opponent for Haney as a result of he’s nonetheless combating at a excessive stage and has sufficient energy in his left hand to complete what Ryan Garcia began. Farmer dropped the extremely ranked light-weight contender William Zepeda of their battle on November sixteenth in a slim 10-round cut up choice loss. Haney would have a bonus in measurement as a result of Tevin is light-weight and never massive.
Haney was crushed by Ryan in his final battle on April twentieth final 12 months in Brooklyn, New York. He was just about blown out of the water by Kingry, getting dropped six instances, with the referee solely giving him a break on three of the knockdowns by ruling them as slips.
