Devin Haney's Title Defense Options Tighten After Gervonta Davis Delay

A report indicates that Gervonta Davis will not fight again until early 2027, removing him as Devin Haney’s most lucrative opponent. With Davis unavailable, Haney must consider other options, including a mandatory WBO defense against Keyshawn Davis or a potential bout with Shakur Stevenson. The WBO has ordered Haney to negotiate with Keyshawn, but financial terms remain unsettled and a fight is not guaranteed.

Analyst Sergio Mora said, “Devin Haney has a better resume… he keeps proving people wrong, because of that jab, because Davis is inconsistent.” He predicts Haney would have the edge if the two ever meet, but the matchup remains far from certain as negotiations continue.
