Despite being months away from the Ryan Garcia fight, Devin Haney has scoped in on another opponent for his next fight! It’s none other than the IBF super lightweight champion Subriel Matias. However, that’s not all! The undefeated boxer is aiming to unify the belts in super lightweight like he did in lightweight. 

In a recent tweet, the WBC super lightweight champion claimed, “At first I didn’t plan [to].. but now. Yes, I want undisputed.” What’s more, Haney has even entertained a future fight against Teofimo Lopez for the WBO title. So, all that will be left is the WBA title, which Rolly Romero currently has. Regardless, Haney’s tweet today suggests Matias might be the first challenge he will face in his quest to become undisputed at 140. 

Jacob Majal thinks Devin Haney should fight Subriel Matias

While appearing in a recent interview with MillCity Boxing on YouTube, Matias’ trainer, Majal, claimed, “I think we are [going to] fight Haney first because Haney wants to fight… He is not afraid to fight. He is just looking for the right person, just like we are.” A clip of the interview found its way to X (formerly Twitter), catching Haney’s attention. 

So, responding to the clip, ‘The Dream’ confirmed the claim from Matias’ trainer. He wrote, “One by one… Knock them down like dominos.” However, for this fight to happen, Haney must defeat Garcia on April 20 at Barclays Arena in Brooklyn, New York. According to Haney’s recent claims, he even has a plan to defeat the Victorville native.
