Devin Haney fired again at Teofimo Lopez on social media, telling him he’s been “begging” him for a battle. This was a response from Haney to Teofimo calling him a “punk b****” on X after he’d knowledgeable his followers that he was returning to the ring in March.
Teofimo (21-1, 13 KOs) is likely to be a bit sad with Haney for refusing the $2.4 million provide made to him for a battle for his WBO mild welterweight belt. Haney probably received excess of that for his current battle in opposition to Ryan Garcia on April twentieth, so why he selected to not settle for it’s comprehensible.
Broner, Farmer, Or Ortiz
We’ve since discovered immediately from BLK Prime that Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) will probably be preventing on March twenty fifth on their streaming service. Though they didn’t say in opposition to who, these are the rumored names which can be into account for Devin’s subsequent battle:
– Tevin Farmer
– Jamaine Ortiz
– Adrien Broner
Jamaine can be the riskiest of the three and the least probably one to be chosen by Haney. If BLK Prime needs to make sure they get a return on the cash they’re paying Haney, they’ll want Broner or a extra related contender. Farmer and Jamaine aren’t well-known sufficient to draw fan curiosity to need to pay to see Haney battle on PPV on BLK Prime.
It’s attention-grabbing that Haney is dismissing Teofimo so shortly as a result of he’s an opponent that will assure a excessive quantity of curiosity from hardcore boxing followers. It could be a dangerous battle, however it might herald PPV buys.
