Bill Haney has revealed the proposed date, location and weight for a planned showdown between his son, Devin, and fellow pound-for-pound star Shakur Stevenson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The two Americans are looking to collide later this year, with Stevenson seemingly willing to move up in weight after capturing the WBO 140lb strap in January.<\/p>\n

He did so by dethroning Teofimo Lopez with a wide unanimous decision victory<\/a>, becoming a four-division world champion before inking a promotional deal with Dana White\u2019s Zuffa Boxing.<\/p>\n

Since then, Stevenson has been linked to fights with WBA super-lightweight champion Gary Antuanne Russell and even Manny Pacquiao, but is now pursuing a welterweight clash with Haney.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Dream\u2019 has not fought since last November, when he dethroned Brian Norman Jr with a unanimous decision victory<\/a> to become a three-weight world champion.<\/p>\n

He was then supposed to make a mandatory defence of his WBO title, only for Keyshawn Davis to withdraw from their ordered contest following a purse bid hearing.<\/p>\n

Now, though, Haney could be on the verge of entering an even bigger fight against Stevenson, who initially demanded the inclusion of a rehydration clause in their contract.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Coach Malachi,<\/a> however, Bill Haney suggested that Stevenson has now agreed to a catchweight of 145lbs, with no rehydration limit, and that the pair are likely to square off in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

\u201c145[lbs] is on for November 28. We\u2019re getting ready. No more excuses \u2026 I\u2019m not waiting for no f***ing announcement. I keep it real. We\u2019re working towards this, and now we have an agreement.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Haney having signed an exclusive deal with DAZN, it remains to be seen whether Stevenson\u2019s agreement with Zuffa will allow him to fight on the streaming platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bill Haney has revealed the proposed date, location and weight for a planned showdown between his son, Devin,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":798424,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-798423","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\/798423","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=798423"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/798423\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/798424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=798423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=798423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=798423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
