Devin Haney said:sweet” He has signed a contract for his next fight, and while he has not revealed who his opponent will be, some believe it could be against WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios.
Haney aims for 'billion dollar' fortune
“a billion” Luckily, former two-division world champion Haney has a big fight planned, and while it's unclear if His Excellency Turki Alarcik has offered Haney to fight on his card, it would make sense with big money involved.
For Haney, a big-money fight would be a dream come true while he waits for a rematch with Ryan Garcia next year, after he initially said he would sit out the fight for a year, suggesting he didn't want to risk losing before the rematch.
There are some fights where Haney could make a lot of money, but they are high-risk fights for him, and if Devin takes a punch and goes down to the canvas, he'll have to make smart choices to win.
Money Fights for Haney:
– Gervonta Davis
– Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz
– Jaron Ennis
– Teofimo Lopez
– Shakur Stevenson
Any fight involving His Excellency would be highly paid and fall into the “sweet” category for Haney. The question is whether Turki Alarcik would be interested in having Haney compete in one of his mega events if he's not facing someone who could pose a threat to beat him. I don't think so.
Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) vacated his WBC 140-pound title after declining a mandatory bout with Sandor Martin. This was not surprising, as it was not financially advantageous for Haney and the risk of facing the crafty and highly skilled Martin was great.
On April 20, the world watched as Haney was soundly defeated by Ryan Garcia by 12-round majority decision at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, but the New York State Athletic Commission overturned the 25-year-old Haney's loss and declared the bout a no contest.
