Devin Haney rumored to sign $100 million Zuffa Boxing contract

Boxing promoters and fans are speculating that WBO welter‑weight champion Devin Haney may soon sign a multi‑fight agreement with Zuffa Boxing. A cryptic tweet from his father, Bill Haney, has fueled rumours of a “huge deal,” and analysts have linked the potential contract to a bout against former 140‑pound champion Richardson Hitchins, who recently moved to welterweight after leaving the IBF division.

Separately, former lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez publicly questioned the reported $100 million figure, calling it “false” and noting that such sums have been inflated in past boxing cycles. Lopez also discussed Zuffa’s growing influence, suggesting that the promotion’s spending could reshape traditional sanctioning‑body dynamics, while noting that much of Zuffa is owned by Turki Al‑Sheikh.

No official announcement has been made, and the details of any deal or fight remain unconfirmed.
