Gervonta Davis [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/gervonta-davis/] proclaimed himself to be the “face of boxing.” And it seems like there is one more step he has to take to become just that. The lightweight division has been a hot topic of discussion in the sport for a long time. After Davis prevailed in his last fight against Ryan Garcia, the Baltimore hard-hitter will be eying to take on new challenges in his career. One such challenge for him is the reigning undisputed lightweight champion, Devin Haney [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/devin-haney/]. Even though there have been no talks or confirmation about a matchup between these two, it is a fight that the fans want to see happen in the near future. Recently, the reigning WBA continental welterweight champion, Conor Benn, responded to a fan who wanted to know about his pick for this potential matchup between these two lightweight sensations. CONOR BENN’S PICK FOR A MATCHUP BETWEEN GERVONTA AND DEVIN HANEY Conor Benn took to his Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/stories/conorbennofficial/3105517206807559029/] and responded to a fan who wanted to know the champ’s verdict on the potential matchup between Davis and Haney. The fan asked, “Who do you think would win out of a fight between Haney and Gervonta Davis?” To this, Benn responded by simply writing “Haney.” It seems like the Brit has made his choice about this potential matchup. And, his response might come as shocking to the Davis fans. However, it is safe to say that anything can happen in a fight between these two lightweights. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Devin-Haney-Gervonta-Davis-Foto-Cortesia.jpg] For now, Haney will be stepping inside the boxing ring to defend his title against Vasyl Lomachenko. And this fight can be a defining moment for Lomachenko as well as Haney.

[https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-devin-haney-roasts-ryan-garcia-and-gervonta-davis-in-a-new-post-luke-campbell-teofimo-lopez/] WHEN WILL CONOR BENN FIGHT NEXT? Conor Benn is in a professional conundrum of his own, despite being given the clearance from WBC for his failed drug test fiasco. It seems like he hasn’t received all the green flags he needs. Benn isn’t allowed to fight in the UK by the UKAD, United Kingdom Anti-Doping Agency until he is able to prove his innocence to the governing body. It seems unclear when Benn will be able to make his return to the boxing ring. And fans await an announcement from the boxer’s team regarding his return to the boxing ring. Who do you think will win between Davis and Haney? Let us know in the comments.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Devin Haney Net Worth 2024, Record, Wife, &amp; More</strong></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Devin Haney?</b></h2>
Devin Haney, who was <a href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2836003-boxings-social-media-champ-inside-the-rise-of-mini-mayweather-devin-haney">trained</a> by his father Bill Haney in their own dedicated space, is one of the youngest boxing world champions in history., winning his first world title in 2019.

Haney is a two-weight division champion. He became the undisputed lightweight champion by beating <strong>George Kambosos Jr</strong> in 2022. After successfully defending his titles for over a year, he decided to vacate them and make the jump to the junior lightweight division. He currently holds the WBC belt in that weight class.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1934542" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Devin-Haney-boxing-oct-15-2022.jpg" alt="Devin Haney" width="1920" height="1280" />

Also known as 'The Dream', the 25-year-old sits second in <a href="https://www.ringtv.com/ratings/?weightclass=281">Ring Magazine</a>'s rankings for active junior-lightweight pugilists. Furthermore, he is<a href="https://www.tbrb.org/all-rankings/"> ranked</a> #3 at junior lightweight by the Transnational Boxing Rankings.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Devin Haneyâ€™s early life</strong></h2>
Devin Haney was born in San Francisco California to Rene and Bill Haney on November 17, 1998. When Haney was conceived, his parents were already separated by that time. Interestingly, before Devinâ€™s birth, Bill Haney was a drug felon who spent 40 months behind bars for possession and conspiracy to distribute cocaine. The birth of his child forced him to get his act together. Subsequently, he started training Devin in boxing when he was just seven.

â€œâ€˜Iâ€™m going to take you to the [Round One Boxing] gym, and letâ€™s see what you can do with some guys that really know how to fightâ€™. He looked back at me, â€˜OKâ€™. He wasnâ€™t intimidated at all. Devin was 8 years old.â€ Bill told TalkSport.

By fourteen, with his motherâ€™s blessings, Devin moved to Los Vegas from Oakland, where his father was trying to make it in the music business, to continue training and build a career in boxing. The sacrifices and the hard work paid off as Devin, under his fatherâ€™s guidance, turned pro at the age of 17 in 2015, with over 100 amateur wins under his belt. However being too young to get a license in the United States, Haney started his professional career fighting in pool halls and bars in front of a hostile Mexican crowd. In fact, out of his first fifteen professional fights, ten of them were held in Mexico.

â€œFighting in Mexico in a bar, you never thought youâ€™d make it this far,â€ Haney had told Fight Freaks. â€œI knew Iâ€™d make it this far, but I knew I had a long road. I wasnâ€™t the guy who came out of the amateurs, signed to a big promoter, and was fighting on big shows. I fought in Mexico for a long period of time. Itâ€™s been a long time coming for me,â€ he added.

Haney can look back fondly at his formative years as his professional boxing record currently stands at 31-1-0, becoming a champion in two-weight classes.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Devin Haneyâ€™s wife and children</b></h2>
Haney has had a long dating history starting with his first model girlfriend <strong>Kris Summers</strong>. It was Haney's first high-profile public relationship. However, not much information is available about their romance which eventually didn't work out.

Then in 2018, he started dating American model <strong>Blac Chyna</strong>. Despite a ten-year age gap, 19-year-old Haney slid into her DMs and later found out they shared the same lawyer. They hit it off and started seeing each other. The couple made their relationship public and flaunted their romance on social media. However, It didn't work out in the end between them.

Then he had a steamy relationship with <strong><em>Aileen Giselle</em></strong>. Their on-and-off saga was intertwined with other relationships, including a notable stint with <strong>Lira Galore.</strong> He also flew Galore to Cabo for a romantic getaway. They even went on a vacation toÂ El Pedregal where they booked a mansion for themselves.

Then in 2021, Haney entered into a relationship with famous Instagram modelÂ  <strong>Jania Meshell,</strong> and they even got engaged. Jania was madly in love with Haney, to the point that she even got his name tattooed on her body. However, the romance didn't last long as they broke off their engagement a couple of months after they started dating.

Subsequently, he became involved with an old flame, <strong>India Love</strong>, a romance dating back to their teenage years. Even though their relationship was public, they eventually decided to call it quits after a short stint.

Currently, rumors are floating around about Devin Haney walking the aisle with a former Taz Angel <strong>Leena Sayed</strong> at a secretive ceremony in Mecca. However, there has been no official confirmation of their marriage. Haney has kept his current relationship with Sayed away from the public glare.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Devin Haneyâ€™s net worth</b></h2>
As per <strong>Marca</strong>, Haney has an estimated net worth of $6 million as of 2023. Akin to Floyd Mayweather Jr, Haney has his own promotion company, which sees him secure a larger chunk of money on any card he fights at. The company is called Devin Haney Promotions.'

One of Haney's most profitable fights was against Vasiliy Lomachenko where he earned a guaranteed fight purse of $4 million. His share in the PPV money would have bolstered his earnings from the fight to a significant amount. Another lucrative fight of Haney's was against George Kambosos Jr. where he earned $2.8 million and 30% of the PPV shares.

Apart from fight earnings, Haney's other sources of income include endorsements and other business ventures.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Devin Hany's career timeline</strong></h2>
'The Dream' Haney has entered the squared circle 32 times in nine years.

His first title win came as a result of winning the interim belt against Zaur Abdulaev. Subsequently, after the lightweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko left the division, the WBC put its belt <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/devin-haney-reinstated-as-wbc-lightweight-champion-of-the-world/12t4q56dh4bst15a6hw7hkiq08" target="_blank" rel="noopener">around</a> Haney's waist.

Devin Haney 'The Dream' has a proclivity for the finish and has won via T/KO on 15 occasions. Furthermore, in his remaining fights, Haney has dominated and claimed unanimous decision wins.

This was the manner in which he retained his lightweight belt against Alfredo Santiago as a 20-year-old in November 2019. Haney set up an intriguing 2021 by beating Yuriorkis Gamboa. Jorge Linares, and Joseph Diaz.

In 2022, Haney became the undisputed lightweight champion by defeatingÂ  <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/george-kambosos-jr/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">George Kambosos Jr</a> in Australia via Unanimous Decision. In October of the same year, he defended his titles against the same opponent, again getting an UD win in his favor.

In 2023, he fought Ukrainian boxer Vasyliy Lomachenko, securing a <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-devin-haney-brands-renowned-boxing-reporter-a-hating-a-bch-for-his-remarks-over-controversial-vasyl-lomachenko-fight/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">controversial unanimous decision</a> victory. Subsequently, he vacated all his belts in the lightweight division and jumped up to conquer another weight class. In his debut match in the super-lightweight division against Regis Progrias, Haney delivered an impressive performance, securing yet another unanimous decision victory.

However, in 2024, the only blot in his boxing record came against his long-time rival <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ryan-garcia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ryan Garcia</a>.

(Photo by Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty Images)[/caption]

Even though the fight with 'King Ry' was previously declared as a title fight, the WBC strap was out of contention once Garcia missed weight. Nonetheless, Haney faced an embarrassing loss with the Victorville native knocking him down three times. The bloodied and bruised Haney was able to take the fight to the final bell, but the outcome was an expected Majority decision loss.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Devin Haneyâ€™s contract</b></h2>
<p style="text-align: left">Currently. Devin Haney is signed to Matchroom Boxing. He returned to Eddie Hearn's promotion after his three-fight deal with Top Rank and DiBella Entertainment came to an end. After defeating Kambosos Jr twice for the undisputed lightweight titles in 2022, and subsequently defending them against Lomachenko in 2023, Haney decided to join forces with Hearn's promotion for the Regis Prograis fight in the junior-lightweight division.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">â€œI think when we first signed him, we kind of had a pact that heâ€™d be our first undisputed world champion in America. Unfortunately, [Haney] had to take another deal to do that, but he always promised me heâ€™d be back,â€ Hearn told ProBox TV.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">Haney first signed with Matchroom Boxing in 2019 before his 21st birthday. His debut match under the Matchroom banner was against Antonio Moran, picking up the vacant WBC International Light and the WBO Inter-Continental Light titles. He then went on to win his first world title with Matchroom, securing the vacant WBC world lightweight interim strap against Zaur Abdullaev. However, before Haney could become undisputed, he decided to part ways with Matchroom.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Devin Haney Partnership and endorsements</b></h2>
On account of his deal with Matchroom, Haney is sponsored by the reputed sports equipment company<strong> Everlast</strong>. His most recent collaboration is with the energy drink brand <strong>Prime</strong>. It was in part an attempt to spite his rival Ryan Garcia after he badmouthed the beverage for allegedly being toxic to one's health. Haney is also signed with SNAC Nutrition, a sports supplement brand. He is often seen displaying this brand on his workout gear and other apparel.

Moreover, he is also associated with DAZN, and the young fighter can be routinely seen promoting the app.

Apart from his sponsorship deals, he reportedly has an impressive portfolio of investments in startups and real estate. One of his noteworthy investments includes his own events promotion company <strong>Devin Haney Promotions.</strong> The company was granted by the California State Athletic Department (CSAC) in 2018.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Devin Haney's career stats and record</b></h2>
In his professional career, Haney is 31-1-0. He has fifteen KOs, bringing his KO rate to 48.39%. The only loss in his boxing record came against his longtime rival Ryan Garcia.

Gervonta Davis

Â  Â  Gervonta Davis Net Worth 2024: Record, Family, and Career Â Who is Gervonta Davis? Twenty-nine-year-old Gervonta Davis began his boxing journey at age five. An outstanding amateur career saw him win two hundred and six matches against a loss of only fifteen. WASHINGTON, DC &#8211; JANUARY 07: Gervonta Davis looks on before fighting Hector Luis Garcia in their WBA World Lightweight Championship bout at Capital One Arena on January 7, 2023 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images) By 2013, at age eighteen, he switched to a professional career, debuting against Desi Williams on February 13. He moved three weight divisions during the next decade, winning multiple titles. Davis has yet to come across the face of defeat in his career. In 2024, Davis converted to Islam and is now known as Abdul Wahid. Â  Gervonta Davisâ€™ Early Life Gervonta Davis was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on November 7, 1994. He used to go to Digital Harbor School but left it early to focus more on boxing. Reportedly, he obtained his high school diploma through a G.E.D. program. Davis&#8217; parents, father, Garrin Davis, and mother, Kenya Brown, were reportedly addicted to banned substances. Hence childhood in a troubled home resulted in him being taken from one foster home to another. The area he grew up in was called Sandtown-Winchester. Located in West Baltimore, it gained notoriety as a highly crime-prone locality. Davis has often claimed to have lost quite a few friends to violence. When he was eight, he told The Sun about trying a banned substance. Seemingly he didn&#8217;t like it and decided not to touch it again. Gervonta Davis&#8217; partner and children The twenty-nine-year-old world champion Gervonta Davis has never been married. However, he has been through a few relationships over the years. Gervonta Davis and Andretta Smothers &#8211; Reportedly, the two were in a relationship for a long time. On June 20, 2018, she gave birth to their daughter Gervanni.

Gervonta Davis and Yaya &#8211; Gervonta Davis has been reported to have dated his mentor and promoter Floyd Mayweather Jr.&#8217;s daughter, Yaya.

Besides the above, Gervonta Davisâ€™s name has also been associated with Dretta Star, Dess Dior, and Aillen Giellsele. Lastly, the boxer also dated model and social media influencer Vanessa Posso. On Instagram, she enjoys a following of over half a million people. Additionally, she appears to be a successful businesswoman with her jewelry brand, RichGirlz. The couple also became parents to Giovanna Thalia in October 2021. It is still not known when they started dating, but they have broken up. Their relationship turned south ever since the Baltimore native was accused and eventually charged with causing bodily harm to Vanessa on the campus of the University of Miami in 2020.

Â  Gervonta Davis&#8217; Net Worth 2024 Itâ€™s natural for fans and followers to ask how much money Gervonta Davis has made through the years if boxing matches are his only source of income, or if he has other avenues that provide meaningful benefits to him and his family. Gervonta Davisâ€™s net worth hovers in the vicinity of $10 Million, according to Sports Arch. While it would be difficult to calculate the exact amount he received for each match since he debuted, we have details of the money he made through a few recent bouts. Reportedly, for the bout against Hector Luis Garcia, Tank received a guaranteed purse of $1.5 million besides a 60% share in the income generated through PPV sales.

However, the share of the income through PPV sales varied from 50% to 55%, respectively. However, Tankâ€™s biggest payday came when he fought Ryan Garcia.

Gervonta Davisâ€™ Career Timeline Gervonta Davis started boxing when he was five years old. His amateur career was outstanding. He became the National Golden Gloves champion in 2012. Before the feat, he was the National Silver Gloves champion. Additionally, he went on to win two gold medals at the National Junior Olympics. If this was not enough, he became the National Police Athletic League and Ringside World champion twice! His amateur record was two hundred and six wins against only fifteen losses. He professionally debuted against Desi Williams on February 22, 2013, and won the match convincingly with a first-round knockout. After that, he participated in sixteen bouts for three years, winning all but one through early stoppages. Davis bagged his first world title, IBF Super Featherweight, on January 14, 2017, after knocking out Jose Pedraza in the seventh round at New Yorkâ€™s Barclays Center. He managed to defend it against Liam Walsh in May of that year but eventually lost it as he missed weight against Francisco Fonseca in their September fight. By April 2018, he took home the subsequent title, the vacant WBA (Super) Super Featherweight, after a knockout victory over the Argentine Jesus Cuellar and defended it successfully till 2019. Making his way up the weight divisions, he fought and defeated the Cuban Yurirokis Gamboa for the WBA (Regular) Lightweight title on December 28, 2019. Then, roughly a year later, on October 31, 2020, by knocking out the Mexican boxer Leo Santa Cruz in the sixth round, not only did he defend the WBA (Regular) Lightweight but won the WBA (Super) Super Featherweight also in turn. On June 26, 2021, he met Mario Barrios at Atlanta, Georgia&#8217;s State Farm Arena, and netted the WBA (Regular) Super Lightweight title. Ever since, he has been defending it despite challenges from the likes of Isaac Cruz (December 5, 2021), Rolando Romero (May 28, 2022), and Hector Garcia on January 7, 2023. Davisâ€™ last fight was against Ryan Garcia and it went on to become the biggest PPV event of his career. â€˜KingRyâ€™ suffered his first career loss at the hands of Davis, the latter securing a stoppage win over the Victorville native with a liver shot in the seventh round. The event generated a live gate of $22.8 million and roped in over $100 Million in revenue. Overall, Gervonta Davisâ€™Â  professional record stands at twenty-nine wins, of which 93% came through knockouts. Gervonta Davis&#8217; signature boxing techniques Southpaw -Â Gervonta Davis is a Southpaw and has been observed to use a pawing jab against orthodox boxers. Defensively, it allows keeping a distance between himself and the opponents. For offensive purposes, Tank employs either a leading left hook or left straight punch to the body, especially when fighting against bigger foes. Outstanding ring IQ -Â Time and again, Davis has proved to have an innate ability to read an opponent. A good example would be the fight against Leo Santa Cruz. Standing at five feet and six inches and a sixty-seven-and-a-half inch reach puts him in a disadvantageous position against bigger fighters. So he smartly manages the range, sidestepping every attack the opponent throws. In his decade-long career, barely has there been an instance when Davis got hurt by shots thrown at him. Strong right hand -Â Even though he is a perennial left-handed boxer, there&#8217;s no reason to doubt that Tank would be weak with his right hand. Though typically in the southpaw stance, his right hand would be in front to deflect the opponent&#8217;s incoming shots.? However, as exemplified by the Leo Santa Cruz fights, he can use his right offensively to set the final shot with his left on either the face or body. Pressure fighting style -Â Though Gervonta Davis could be equated as a switch-hitter, let there be no doubts about what he enjoys doing the most in the ring. He loves stalking his opponents and loosens up a barrage of punch combinations when the time comes. It perplexes the foe into committing a blunder. That&#8217;s when Davis lands a fight-ending knockout blow like a classic pressure fighter. Powerful lead hook &#8211; The southpaw stance requires Davis to keep his left hand back while using the right hand to land jabs and for defense. However, the style hasn&#8217;t deprived the Baltimorean to alternately use his lead hand for thrusting a hook, either to the body or face. Often at a close range, he might need more time to chamber in the dominant left hand for that perfect hook. So instead, very intelligently, he shoots the hand most relative to the opponent. In most cases, it has been found that Tank&#8217;s opponents were barely prepared for such an onslaught. Accurate puncher -Â It&#8217;s not enough if you know how to execute a punch. It should find its target to make it useful, else it&#8217;s nothing but a sheer waste of energy. Tank has often claimed that accuracy is the key to his power. After all, for a boxer who has won 93% of his matches through knockouts, it&#8217;s relatively understandable the kind of precision he would have to stop twenty-seven opponents early in the fight! Gervonta Davisâ€™ Partnerships and Endorsements The American sports apparel and accessories company based in Maryland, Under Armour, signed the boy from their hometown, Davis, in 2017 With that, &#8216;Tank&#8217; joined the esteemed company of elite boxers like Anthony Joshua and Canelo Alvarez.

We look for the next best talent all over the world. So being a young athlete from Baltimore, we knew about him.&#8221;Â  To announce the partnership, Under Armor plastered Davisâ€™ face across a couple of billboards embellished with the catchphrase &#8211; â€œBaltimoreâ€™s ownâ€. Apart from the Baltimore-based company, his other brand endorsements cannot be ascertained as of now.

Recognizing Davisâ€™ efforts to invest in the community, City Council Nick Mosby said, &#8220;Tank, when he goes around the world, he literally carries the city of Baltimore on his back,&#8221;Â  Â &#8220;For you to come back, invest in your hometown, invest in your community, and invest in your block &#8211; is truly, truly special,&#8221; he added. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  Gervonta Davisâ€™ house The Baltimore native bought a penthouse condominium at Silo Point in Locust Point last year for $3.4 million. He bought the splendid condominium from Baltimore developer Scott Plank. Charlie Hatter, CEO and co-owner of Monumental Sothebyâ€™s International Realty said he brokered the deal.Â  Davis had been looking for a new apartment, and Sotheby was happy enough to show him a video of the loft-style penthouse. Davis developed a liking for the stunning estate and was ready to seal the deal. â€œBaltimore has nationally known celebrities and [Iâ€™m] glad to see them investing in Charm City,â€ Hatter said.
