Negotiations between the two stars have repeatedly surfaced over the years without producing an official fight agreement. Neither Haney nor Davis has publicly announced active negotiations for a fight, and no official agreement involving a catchweight or rehydration clause has been confirmed by either camp at this stage. For years, Davis has favored catchweights and rehydration limits in several high-profile fights, arguing they help level the playing field against naturally larger opponents. Haney, meanwhile, has consistently opposed those…
