Top trainer Brian \u2018BoMac\u2019 McIntyre believes one man at 147lbs, who is yet to even secure a world title shot, has the beating of WBO champion Devin Haney.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Dream\u2019 claimed his welterweight strap last November, becoming a three-division world champion by dethroning Brian Norman Jr with a wide points victory<\/a> after flooring his man in round two.<\/p>\n

After that, he was linked to a unification match with then-WBA champion Rolando Romero, only for talks to suddenly collapse at the negotiating table.<\/p>\n

Haney was then ordered to defend his belt against mandatory challenger Keyshawn Davis, who initially rejected a $3m offer and withdrew from their contest following an unfavourable purse bid hearing.<\/p>\n

Having been left without an obvious opponent, Haney is also yet to announce a date or location for his next outing, despite having expressed varying degrees of interest in fights with IBF champion Liam Paro and Jack Catterall.<\/p>\n

Someone who has been persistently calling the 27-year-old out, meanwhile, is unbeaten contender Delante \u2018Tiger\u2019 Johnson, who looks a talented operator but is yet to compete at the top level.<\/p>\n

As the 28-year-old\u2019s head coach, though, BoMac has told Fight Hub TV<\/a> that Tiger is capable of dethroning his fellow unbeaten American.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s not the biggest [test for anyone] at 147[lbs]. I can\u2019t say he is. Right now, my guy \u2013 when he gets his chance \u2013 I\u2019m gonna make sure he\u2019s ready.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe tried to get the fight [with Haney] \u2013 [Johnson] called him out. It didn\u2019t materialise. I just told [Johnson], \u2018Hey, wait [for] your chance. Your time will come\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen his time comes \u2013 trust me, he will be ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tiger notoriously engaged in a physical altercation with Team Haney<\/a> in January, with the incident unfolding during the weigh-in for Teofimo Lopez vs Shakur Stevenson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Top trainer Brian \u2018BoMac\u2019 McIntyre believes one man at 147lbs, who is yet to even secure a world…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":756166,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-756165","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/756165","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=756165"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/756165\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/756166"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=756165"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=756165"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=756165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
