The father of Devin Haney is currently on a mission to secure an opponent for his son! One of the names that had people excited about Haney’s next fight is Ryan Garcia. However, papa Bill’s interaction with Benn during his post-fight press conference suggests that the Garcia fight might not be happening, prompting Stevenson to brand Bill a “Helluva Business Man” on X today!

During the 3 February post-fight press conference, Bill interrupted the conference to tell Benn, “I want to come over here and tell you congratulations, and you know maybe we can do something.” Not minding the interruption, Benn stated, “You know I am keen for that fight,” referring to a prior callout from Bill for a fight between Haney and Benn.

Bill Haney further added, “Respect to you and your family. You guys are legends in the sport. Of course, it will be an honor and a pleasure if that time presents [for a fight].” Seeing the same unfold on X, Stevenson tweeted at the clip, claiming, “Hellavu business man gotta give dude his flowers.” Interestingly, while Bill is all cordial and polite with Benn, the same can not be said about his son!

Of course, the Brit found the tweet from the American and wasn’t exactly happy with it!
