“Davis Vs Haney, the biggest fight of the year.⭐️”
Haney responded shortly afterward, but instead of embracing the matchup, he shifted the focus toward Stevenson.
“Me vs. Shakur.. is the biggest. Our fight would be big tho.”
The exchange is notable because it comes just days after Bill Haney publicly suggested that Shakur would be the preferred opponent before any potential fight with Keyshawn.
While Haney did not dismiss Davis outright, his response made clear which matchup he views as the bigger attraction.
A Haney-Shakur fight has been discussed for years. The two unbeaten stars have a long history dating back to their amateur days and have frequently been linked to one another as professionals. Despite competing in neighboring weight classes for much of their careers, the fight has yet to materialize.
Keyshawn has recently increased his pursuit of Haney, repeatedly calling for the contest and predicting it would produce one of the year’s most memorable fights.
Haney’s latest comment suggests that while he sees value in a fight with Davis, Stevenson remains at the top of his list.
