Shakur Stevenson renewed his pursuit of a fight with Devin Haney on Friday, using social media to once more call for a 144-pound catchweight bout.<\/p>\n

Stevenson has spent months pressing for a 144-pound catchweight as a substitute of meeting Haney at the complete welterweight limit. Haney previously indicated he was willing to debate those terms while negotiations focused on a Stevenson fight.<\/p>\n

Shakur\u2019s latest push revives an idea that when looked viable. Haney later agreed to pursue a WBO-ordered bout with Keyshawn Davis, a matchup Bill Haney portrayed as an try and remove Devin from the image before a Stevenson fight could occur. That development pushed talks aside while Haney dealt together with his WBO mandatory obligation.<\/p>\n

Keyshawn stepping aside changes the conversation. Bill Haney argued throughout those discussions that his son honored his obligations by moving toward the ordered fight as a substitute of chasing other lucrative opportunities. From Team Haney\u2019s perspective, agreeing to 144 kilos was a concession tied to those circumstances relatively than a standing offer.<\/p>\n

Yoooo @BillHaney77<\/a> @Realdevinhaney<\/a> Let\u2019s go I\u2019m here still saying the identical thing I been saying call my bluff now Nick and Dana is waiting we are going to do business with DAZN too #144 LETS SCRAP!!! #HIM<\/a> \ud83d\udc51<\/p>\n

The balance has modified since earlier this summer. Shakur has returned to the identical catchweight request, but Haney now has a stronger argument for insisting the fight happen at 147 kilos. Attention now turns to Haney, whose camp has far less incentive to simply accept the identical terms it appeared willing to think about before the Keyshawn Davis negotiations unraveled.<\/p>\n
