Haney vs Davis bout rumors
As soon as the fight between Devin Haney and Vasyl Lomachenko was over, fans demanded The Truth defend his undisputed titles against Tank next. It is the fight that Haney wants and has expressed his interest in the past. But for the last few weeks, there has been no update regarding this super fight.
Last month, Gervonta Davis hinted that they are going to send a contract to Haney’s team. Although there is no confirmation from either party. This will be a tough matchup to make as Haney plans to move up a weight class as it is becoming difficult for him to cut weight. And the only way Davis will fight Haney is if the undisputed titles are on the line.
