\u201cThey asked me would I fight at 152,\u201d said Ennis to Ring Champs<\/a>. \u201cI said, \u2018Yeah.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Boots says that at that time, the communication stopped, and he heard nothing from Haney\u2019s team.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never heard back after that,\u201d Ennis said.<\/p>\n

Ennis also sounded frustrated with how negotiations involving his name have been discussed publicly over the previous few years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe people be using my name because they think I\u2019m not going to say nothing,\u201d said Ennis. \u201cPeople be painting these false narratives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Haney discussed the identical negotiations last yr during an interview with Ring Magazine while explaining why the fight never happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cRyan Garcia was out. Teo was out. Who was the subsequent best guy that I could fight?\u201d said Haney. \u201cThey got here with \u2018Boots\u2019 Ennis, and we said, \u2018Yeah, let\u2019s do it, but we would like to do it at 147.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Haney then explained his side\u2019s issue with the proposed catchweight.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey got here back with, \u2018152,\u2019\u201d Haney said. \u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018Why would I fight at 152? I never even fought at 147. No. We are able to do it at 147 or not.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The fight never moved forward, and each fighters eventually headed in numerous directions. Ennis later moved to 154 kilos, while Haney is preparing to challenge Brian Norman Jr. for a welterweight title later this yr.<\/p>\n

The newest comments from Ennis add one other version of events to a negotiation story that has remained a subject amongst fans since talks first collapsed.<\/p>\n
