Floyd Schofield is questioning Gervonta Davis\u2019 interest in a fight with Devin Haney after the deadline for his or her WBA-ordered negotiations passed with out a deal being announced.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI used to be trying to offer him the advantage of the doubt, but my dad is saying that\u2019s a transparent duck,\u201d said Floyd Schofield Jr. to MillCity Boxing. \u201cNow, swiftly on the identical way that we were speculated to come to an agreement for a handbag bid, now you wish to fight Devin Haney.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can have fought Devin last 12 months. You can have fought Devin once you was lining up that fight with Jake Paul. Now, swiftly, you wish to fight Devin. I don\u2019t wish to say what it’s.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Schofield\u2019s father agreed along with his son\u2019s view of the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat man doesn\u2019t wish to fight you. It\u2019s okay to say, \u2018I don\u2019t wish to fight,’\u201d<\/strong> said Schofield Sr.<\/p>\n

Schofield Jr. stopped wanting directly accusing Davis of avoiding him, but said the timing of the recent Haney talk raised questions.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going to say what I need to say, but it surely\u2019s just a little weird. There\u2019s something shaky in there. I ain\u2019t going to lie,\u201d said Schofield Jr. about Davis being linked to a Haney fight. \u201cThat\u2019s some bitch stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The WBA ordered Davis to defend his lightweight title against Schofield in May and gave either side until June 22 to barter a deal. As of June 24, no fight had been officially announced.<\/p>\n

Davis has recently been linked to a possible fight against Haney, while Schofield stays the WBA\u2019s mandatory challenger at 135 kilos with a 19-0 record and 13 knockouts.<\/p>\n

If the title changes hands outside the ring, Schofield says he’s greater than willing to simply accept it.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey, I\u2019ll take the belt [WBA lightweight title]. Thanks,\u201d<\/strong> said Schofield Jr.<\/p>\n
