Devin Haney to Face Mandatory Challenger Keyshawn Davis After WBO Orders Purse Bid

The World Boxing Organization (WBO) has ordered a purse‑bid for a mandatory welterweight title defense between champion Devin Haney and challenger Keyshawn Davis. The bid is scheduled for July 27, with a minimum amount of $250,000. Under the WBO’s standard split, Haney will receive 75% of the purse while Davis will receive 25% if the fight proceeds to a bid.

Haney recently captured the WBO welterweight belt after defeating Brian Norman Jr., while Davis earned a recent win over Nahir Albright in Norfolk, Virginia. Promoter Bill Haney publicly taunted Davis after the order, highlighting the financial advantage that the champion holds in the mandatory process.
