Bill Haney says negotiations are underway for a fight between Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson, and he believes the long-discussed matchup could finally be moving closer to reality.
The outspoken trainer and manager made the comments while discussing recent talks involving Team Haney, Shakur Stevenson, and Keyshawn Davis. According to Bill, a potential fight between Devin and Stevenson is already being discussed behind the scenes.
“What I can say is that it’s a fight on the table for Devin and Shakur with that group right now,” Bill Haney said to Champside.
Haney was asked about reports linking Stevenson to Zuffa Boxing and whether that could affect the chances of making one of the biggest fights in the sport.
Bill indicated that the parties involved are aware of the ongoing discussions and suggested there is interest in seeing the fight happen.
“Well, we know that Eddie Hearn says that he doesn’t have the money to pay Shakur or Devin, right? On that platform. So it leads us to believe that Zuffa and that team, Turki and all of those guys, want to make the fight happen,” said Bill.
The comments came as Haney continued to push his proposal of facing both Stevenson and Keyshawn Davis. Earlier this week, Bill publicly offered to fight the two unbeaten stars back-to-back, arguing that promotional issues should not prevent the matchups from being made.
“We’ll fight you first, and we’ll fight your big brother second,” Haney said while describing his message to Keyshawn Davis.
A Devin Haney-Shakur Stevenson fight has been discussed for years, dating back to their amateur rivalry. Both fighters have gone on to become world champions, with Haney becoming boxing’s youngest undisputed champion and Stevenson winning titles in multiple weight classes.
While no official agreement has been announced, Bill’s latest comments suggest talks remain active as the boxing world waits to see what direction Haney and Stevenson take next.
