While no fight has been announced, the general public callout serves as a reminder that Haney stays certainly one of the game\u2019s most sought-after opponents.<\/p>\n<p>The timing is notable because Haney has also been linked to a possible showdown with Shakur Stevenson. The 2 fighters have discussed a fight at a 144-pound catchweight, but no agreement has been finalized.<\/p>\n<p>At the identical time, the WBO is predicted to maneuver forward with a compulsory title defense against Keyshawn Davis, creating one other possible direction for Haney.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan\u2019s message is unlikely to go unnoticed by either fighter. Stevenson has spent months pursuing a fight with Haney, while Davis is positioned to challenge for Haney\u2019s WBO title if the mandatory order moves forward.<\/p>\n<p>A rematch with Ryan would likely be certainly one of the most important fights available to Haney financially. Their first fight generated enormous attention before and after the event, making a second meeting a sexy option if the 2 sides can reach an agreement.<\/p>\n<p>The rivalry also stays unresolved. Ryan scored three knockdowns of their first meeting and was awarded a majority decision victory, however the result was later overturned to a no-contest after he tested positive for a banned substance. Since then, each fighters have repeatedly expressed interest in facing one another again.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan\u2019s message also comes while Haney\u2019s future stays unsettled. A fight with Shakur Stevenson has yet to be finalized, and the WBO mandatory situation involving Keyshawn Davis stays unresolved. Ryan has made it clear that he&#8217;s serious about running it back with Haney.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sabox-authors\">\n<div class=\"saboxplugin-wrap\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"author\">\n<div class=\"saboxplugin-tab saboxplugin-tab-about\">\n<div class=\"saboxplugin-desc\">\n<div itemprop=\"description\">\n<p>Robert Segal is a boxing journalist at Boxing News 24 with greater than a decade of experience covering fight news, previews, and evaluation.
