Gervonta Davis trainer Calvin Ford has offered his thoughts on a potential clash between Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney, which could be fought at a catchweight of 144lbs.

Since then, ‘The Dream’ has been ordered to face mandatory challenger Keyshawn Davis, but is clearly more enthused…

“You have the contract. Sign it.” Stevenson quickly fired back on X. “Shut yo ass up and vacate that belt so I could beat yall ass,” said Shakur. The comments appear to reference the growing complications surrounding Haney’s WBO welterweight title. WBO President Gustavo Olivieri has repeatedly stated that Haney’s next obligation is a mandatory defense against top-ranked contender Keyshawn Davis. That mandatory position has become a major obstacle to a Haney-Stevenson fight. If Haney proceeds with a non-title catchweight bout against Stevenson instead of facing Keyshawn, he would likely be stripped of the WBO belt. Shakur has previously indicated…
