Devin Haney weighs in on his last bout

According to Haney, his last bout against the former champion was competitive but not a robbery. In addition, he deems it incoherent for the fans to tag a competitive fight as a robbery without any merit. Reflecting on the same, he stated, “It was definitely a tough fight. It was my toughest fight, up to date, but it was a competitive fight. That is what people get confused about. They say competitive fights in boxing is a robbery. They mistake them for robberies. If it is a closed fight, it is not a robbery.”
