Devin Haney‑Keyshawn Davis Welterweight Title Fight Negotiations Intensify

The World Boxing Organization has ordered champion Devin Haney to defend his welterweight title against mandatory challenger Keyshawn Davis. A purse‑bid is scheduled for Monday in San Juan, Puerto Rico, with a minimum bid of $200,000 and a 75 %/25 % split in favor of Haney.

Bill Haney, the champion’s father, has publicly claimed that Davis is “missing” as the deadline approaches, seeking to pressure the challenger. In response, Davis said on Instagram Live that Bill Haney has no role in the negotiations, that he already knows the expected outcome of the bid, and dismissed the accusations as false.

Both camps have yet to reach a private agreement, leaving the fight likely to go to the scheduled purse‑bid unless a deal is struck before the deadline.
