Devin Haney teases potential fight against Shakur Stevenson

Devin Haney has revived speculation regarding a potential boxing match against Shakur Stevenson through recent social media activity. After nearly a year of inactivity following his WBO welterweight title victory over Brian Norman Jr. in November 2025, Haney shared a video on Instagram featuring a face-off with Stevenson.

Negotiations for the bout previously stalled due to disagreements over weight classes. Stevenson had requested a 144-pound catchweight, a condition Haney’s team initially appeared to accept before both parties moved toward other opportunities. Haney has expressed a preference for competing at the standard 147-pound welterweight limit.

While the social media post has reignited fan interest, it does not confirm that formal negotiations have resumed. Haney faces pressure to return to the ring to maintain his momentum and earning power, with other potential opponents in the division including Liam Paro, Teofimo Lopez, and Ryan Garcia.
