“Three in My Imagination”: Bob Arum Opens Up About the Next Potential Matchups for Devin Haney

Boxing’s landscape is teeming with suspense as Bob Arum, head of Top Rank Inc, unfolds a captivating triptych of potential fights for the reigning Lightweight champion Devin Haney. The whirl of possibilities comes hot on the heels of Haney’s controversial victory over Vasiliy Lomachenko, a match that saw the boxing world divided in opinion.

The disputed win has stirred up not just a torrent of debates but also the curiosity of fans worldwide. Just when you thought you had a firm grasp on Devin’s trajectory, Arum tosses in a wildcard, promising a panorama that’s both thrilling and unexpected. While Arum’s vision contains a trilogy of tantalizing prospects, he seems to be playing his cards close to his chest.

Bob Arum’s “Imaginary” match-ups

Arum has dangled three potential clashes in front of Haney, each with its own unique appeal. With Haney fresh off a multi-bout contract with Top Rank, these offers could shape the next phase of his illustrious career.

The veteran promoter revealed he hasn’t yet discussed his ideas with Haney’s manager, Bill, acknowledging that Bill’s job is to seek the best opportunities for his son. Three fights for ‘The Dream’ have been planned, according to Arum. The first would pit him against the winner of the Taylor-Teofimo match, which would necessitate a weight gain for Haney.

The CEO of Top Rank went on list other options for Devin Haney. “Secondly, there is a fight with Shakur that would be massive because everybody would want to see that fight,” he stated. He also didn’t dismiss the possibility of a rematch with ‘The Matrix’ Lomachenko, listing it as the third prospect.

Bob Arum expressed his hope to sit down with Haney’s father, manager, and trainer, Bill Haney, to discuss these options. “Hopefully Bill comes to New York for the Teofimo-Taylor fight. I’ll sit with him. He’s a very intelligent guy. We’ll discuss all the options that we at Top Rank can offer,” he shared.
