“Let’s Make This Fight”: Amid Ongoing Feud With Gervonta Davis, Devin Haney Reveals This Widely Acclaimed Boxing Star Called Him for a Super-Fight

In the wake of Devin Haney‘s latest victory over Regis Prograis, the former’s father Bill Haney called out Gervonta Davis. Additionally, to provoke the WBA Lightweight champion, Bill Haney even branded ‘Tank’ and his trainers “p*****s.”

On the other hand, after the California Commission revealed that Devin rehydrated and weighed in at 165 lbs against Regis in their fight at 140 lbs, Gervonta Davis publicly accused Devin Haney of cheating. At this, while the boxing world witnessed team ‘Haney’ and ‘Tank’ battle with words, ‘The Dream’ revealed he was approached by Teofimo Lopez for a fight.

Devin Haney turned down “drunk” Teofimo Lopez’s offer

During his latest appearance on ThaBoxingVoice Podcast, the current unified Lightweight and WBC Super Lightweight champion Devin Haney revealed that ahead of the Regis Prograis fight, Teofimo Lopez had randomly texted ‘The Dream.’ As per Haney’s claim, Lopez wanted a fight. However, since ‘The Takeover’ was in a contract with promoter Bob Arum‘s Top Rank Boxing, ‘The Dream’ thought it was only appropriate if Arum had called him instead with the proposal.

“So, on one random day, I get a text from Teo. And he is like, ‘It’s Teo bro, let’s make this fight,'” said Haney. Although the random message from Lopez initially irritated Haney, the latter continued the conversation. “He was talking all this bulls***. Like, let’s do this fight here and [that] we can make this much money. I’m like, ‘You’re in a contract, right? So you’ve gotta go talk to Bob, right?’ He said yeah. I’m already in talks with Bob Arum, so what the f*** am I talking to you for?” added ‘The Dream.’

However, Haney concluded that Lopez was probably drunk when he texted the former. In this context, it is worth mentioning that although Haney turned down Lopez’s offer, his father Bill Haney wanted ‘The Takeover’ vs. ‘The Dream.’

Bill Haney was eyeing Teofimo’s WBO title

Right after the victory against Vasyl Lomachenko, the plan was for Devin Haney to move up to Super-Lightweight and try to become a two-division world champion in the sport. In this context, while Teofimo Lopez prepared to face Josh Taylor for the latter’s WBO Super-Lightweight title, Bill Haney hoped Lopez would win. And of course, he also hoped Lopez would defend the WBO title against Devin at 140 lbs next.

Likewise, speaking to Teofimo Lopez Sr., Bill Haney had said, “If you win do you promise that it’s Devin and Lopez [next]? But soon, team Haney landed a deal with then-WBC-Super-Lightweight champion Regis Prograis, and consequently, Devin’s interest in Lopez died out. With that said, would you have bought the tickets for Lopez vs. Haney? Let us know in the comments.
