“We’re Exploring”: Despite Back-Forth Jabs, Eddie Hearn Makes Big Revelation About “Mega-Fight” Between Devin Haney and Regis Prograis

After the controversial victory against Vasyl Lomachenko, Devin Haney faced two choices. One was to stay in the same weight division and defend his title against Shakur Stevenson, the other was to move up in the division and fight Regis Prograis. Though talks of his fight with Stevenson started, they fell apart after they couldn’t come to terms with their agreement over the pay split.

So even though Lomachenko was constantly pushing for a rematch and Stevenson was calling him out, Haney made the decision to finally move up in weight. And now it seems that the fight is all set and ready to take place. Notably, both fighters have also been going back and forth on social media over the contract dispute previously. And Prograis has even shared his frustration at the fight not being made. Speaking on the matter, boxing promoter Eddie Hearn recently made some huge revelations.

Eddie Hearn reveals Devin Haney has yet to sign the contract

Recently, Matchroom Boxing shared a clip of the video of an interview with Hearn. In the clip, he addressed the fight as he revealed some intriguing details about the potential match-up. He stated that they have been waiting for the “basketball schedule to come out.” Moreover, he revealed that they are looking for sites where they can organize the fight. According to Hearn, the delays linked to the basketball event have shifted the original October 28 target.

Not only that but Hearn stated that November seems a more probable contender, with a slim chance of extending to early December. He added numerous potential locations that are under scrutiny. “San Francisco, Oakland, Vegas, Madison Square Garden, Washington, Atlanta- all venues and dates that we’re exploring,” he stated. He also revealed that Prograis has already signed, however, Haney, is yet to do so. Though he did add that the undisputed champ is “ready to sign.” Hearn hopes that everyone will be happy with the date and venue. He hopes for the fight to be a “mega fight for November/December.”

Bill Haney leaks video of sparring footage of Stevenson

Recently Stevenson and Haney found themselves in a bitter social media feud. Moreover, Stevenson even ended up sharing a secretly recorded video of him and Haney Sr. talking about a sparring session between them. This absolutely infuriated the father/trainer of Haney as he cleared the air in an interview with ThaBoxingVoice.

He claimed the video was from 4 years ago and that Haney has never been at 130 lbs. Instead, he claimed that he was talking about Stevenson in the video. Haney added, “Today I’m on Shakur’s ass. He’s a fraud, he’s a fake. He’s around here recording motherf*****s.” Soon he ended up leaking the video of Stevenson quitting the sparring session stating, “I’m tired.”

Overall, things still remain murky between both fighters as fans look forward to the new step Haney is taking. What are your thoughts about ‘The Dream’ moving up in weight?
