Eddie Hearn has named Devin Haney as a possible opponent for one of his top welterweight talents, who expects to be fighting for world honours before long.<\/p>\n
There is much uncertainty surrounding Haney\u2019s next outing, with the WBO champion having not fought since dethroning Brian Norman Jr in November.<\/p>\n
Back then, \u2018The Dream\u2019 became a three-weight world champion in comprehensive fashion<\/a>, scoring a third-round knockdown before claiming a wide points victory.<\/p>\n Haney was then in negotiations with WBA welterweight champion Rolando Romero, only for their unification showdown to collapse for no specified reason.<\/p>\n More recently, the 27-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Dana White\u2019s Zuffa Boxing, perhaps hoping to revisit the Romero fight under a different promotional banner.<\/p>\n Either way, Matchroom promoter Hearn has already suggested Haney as a potential opponent for Paddy Donovan, who has just edged a majority decision against former world title challenger Karen Chukhadzhian<\/a>.<\/p>\n In truth, it was a far more convincing win than the scorecards reflected, as Donovan secured two knockdowns and largely outboxed the former two-time Jaron Ennis opponent.<\/p>\n As a result, the Irishman is set to become the IBF mandatory challenger to Lewis Crocker, who must first defend his title against Liam Paro on June 24.<\/p>\n
