Keyshawn Davis may have just picked up one of the strongest public endorsements yet for a future fight against Devin Haney. Trainer Derek “Bozy” Ennis believes Keyshawn’s physical style could become the deciding factor if the two unbeaten fighters eventually meet at welterweight.
“I think that’s a a great fight, man,” said Bozy to YSM Sports Media. “Devin is a good boxer. Keyshawn, he he box and he’ll fight you inside.
“So, I think that’ll be a great fight, man. I think it’ be a great fight.
“I think it all depends on what Keyshawn does. Is he going to box him or he going to walk him down or you know what I mean?”
Ennis believes Haney’s movement and boxing IQ would create problems early, but he still sees Keyshawn eventually trying to force the action.
“And then what you call him really? He’s he’s like u a good great boxer, right? He’ll box you and move and you know he’s he’s smart,” said Bozy talking about Haney.
“Devin is kind of smart in boxing. Intelligent real intelligent. Keyshawn is also that too.
“If I would to put my money down on it, I’ll put my money on on Keshan walking him down. You know what I mean? Even though he like to box though, but I think he’ll try to walk Devin down.”
Bozy questioned whether Haney could handle a physical fight once exchanges start breaking down in close range.
“Keep boxing like he normally box and move. He’s real intelligent when it comes to that,” said Bozy about Haney.
“But war in a war in the war. No, he’s not going to be victorious in the war fighting with Keyshawn at all.
“Once they start fighting, both of them start fighting, is who got the better IQ is going to win?”
He also dismissed concerns about Keyshawn Davis moving up to 147 pounds for a possible Haney fight. Bozy believes the extra weight could actually make him more dangerous.
“Yeah, I think he’s going to be much stronger. He’s strong now. So, I think he’s going to be much stronger,” Bozy said.
Any fight between Haney and Keyshawn Davis would likely have to wait. Haney is still expected to move toward a rematch with Ryan Garcia, while Keyshawn is only beginning his run at welterweight. Still, the matchup is already generating attention because of the clash between Haney’s movement and Keyshawn’s pressure style.
Even with growing interest in the matchup, the business side of boxing makes it difficult to imagine Haney taking that kind of risk before a second fight with Ryan Garcia is settled.
