Devin Haney and Teofimo Lopez are two of the biggest attractions in the exciting lightweight division. Moreover, the pair have a rivalry between them and appear to be on a collision course to face each other. And now, Eddie Hearn has given an update on the potential bout.
Haney will return to the ring this weekend to box against former world champion Jorge Linares. The pair will fight as the main event of a stacked card. However, Eddie Hearn is already planning for life after the Linares fight for his young champion.
The promoter spoke to Boxing Social on YouTube and said, “I think Teofimo Lopez is more than up for the fight against Devin Haney. I think he believes he can beat him. And if Devin Haney wins on Saturday, Teofimo Lopez will receive a huge offer to fight Devin Haney. It is an absolute super-fight.”
