WBA Finally Comes Clean on Devin Haney & Gervonta Davis’ Championship Status

The WBA has come out and given a clarification about the championship situation between Devin Haney and Gervonta Davis. Haney is currently the undisputed champion, meaning he holds all four major belts including the WBA title. However, Davis is also listed as a WBA champion at 135 pounds.

To make this clear the governing body had come out with champions in each division giving us the current status of the WBA champions.

WBA clarifies the situation between Gervonta Davis and Devin Haney

The organization has given Haney the title of super champion at lightweight, as he holds the WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBF titles. ‘Tank’ on the other hand, is currently the regular champion after making his mandatory title defense against Rolando Romreo back in May. Moreover, WBA also gave us an insight into the champions in other weight classes.

At super featherweight, Hector Garcia has been listed as the champion. However, he will be getting permission to move up a class to face Davis this coming January. This was not all as it was revealed that Leigh Wood is the current champion at featherweight after Leo Santa Cruz vacated his title to face Davis.

This was certainly a much needed clarification from the organization. With the current number of belts in boxing, it is hard to pinpoint where a fighter actually stands.

Haney responds to Davis’ claims about their sparring session

The undisputed lightweight champ recently sounded off on Davis’ claims involving their sparring session. ‘Tank’ started the feud after claiming that he ‘cracked’ Haney during the sparring session. However, Haney refuted this claim as he took to Twitter and responded to Davis. He stated that he got the better of the 2-division champion and also took shots at him.

“Truth be told I beat the shit out Tank… somebody around here got the footage besides Floyd. & if you so called almost knocked me out what stopped you since when have we heard of you stopping from knocking anybody out? Gtfoh!” he wrote tagging Davis in the tweet.

The two are currently the best lightweight in the world and could find themselves in the ring soon. Moreover, with Tank eyeing a bout with either Haney or Stevenson after potentially facing Ryan Garcia, this fight could happen next year.
