Gervonta Davis vs. Devin Haney: Mayweather Promotions’ CEO Comments on “No Rehydration Clause” Remarks

Gervonta Davis hasn’t stepped back in the ring since his spectacular knockout of Ryan Garcia last April. Meanwhile, Devin Haney is set to face Garcia, this time for the WBC super-lightweight title on April 20th. Will their rivalry take a backseat, or could Davis be eyeing a future clash with Haney himself?

Fueling the speculation is a comment by Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions. Ellerbe’s cryptic words about a potential Davis-Haney fight have sent shockwaves through the boxing world. Did he just hint at a blockbuster bout without a rehydration clause?

No more weight worries?

In the heart of the boxing sphere, a potential bout between Gervonta Davis and Devin Haney teases enthusiasts with the promise of an epic showdown. Interestingly, Davis’ previous fight with Ryan Garcia was tightly regulated by a 10-pound rehydration clause, limiting Garcia’s weight gain to no more than 10 pounds post-weigh-in. This detail underscores the meticulous planning that goes into such high-caliber matches, setting a precedent for discussions around future fights.

Leonard Ellerbe’s recent interview with Akhi TV reveals an intriguing development. The conversation, centered on Davis’ readiness to face Haney at 140 pounds without a rehydration clause, brings a refreshing openness to negotiations. “What’s your thoughts on Tank telling Porter and Hitchens he’s willing to fight Devin Haney at 140 without a rehydration clause?” asked the interviewer. Without missing a beat, Ellerbe confidently replied, “Whatever Tank wants to do, that’s what it is.” This exchange not only highlights Davis’ boldness but also reflects Mayweather Promotions’ support for their fighter’s ambitions, signifying a potential shift in how future boxing bouts might be approached.

Haney tipped to triumph over Gervonta Davis

Curmel Moton, a rising boxing prodigy, has weighed in on a hypothetical battle among his role models: Gervonta Davis, Shakur Stevenson, and Devin Haney, speculating on an outcome at the welterweight division of 147 lbs. Despite his admiration for all three, Moton casts his prediction with a clear vision.

“At 147, Devin. I feel like Devin’s the only one big enough to go up that high,” Moton stated, highlighting Haney’s physical advantage and skill set as decisive factors. This perspective stems from Haney’s successful leap to Super-Lightweight, where he clinched the WBC title from Regis Prograis via unanimous decision. He continued, “They are all great. I don’t even think they’ll fight as of right now. So, we’ll see in the future.” This quote from Moton, shared with Champside.
