Devin Haney appears to be at crossroads. The WBC had given him a choice between staying in the same division and defending his title against Shakur Stevenson or moving up in weight and fighting Regis Prograis for the super Lightweight title. This news came up right after Stevenson reportedly reached out to WBC, to become the mandatory challenger. Haney appears to be under a lot of pressure. He had been given a deadline until July 21 to decide his next opponent.

It all started after ‘The Dream’ achieved a controversial victory against Vasyl Lomachenko earlier this year. Many people felt that Loma should have been the winner of the bout. The Ukrainian boxer has also been demanding a rematch. However, Haney chose to move on and fight Stevenson instead. However, the young American boxer didn’t accept fighting for a low split, instead, he argued that he knows his worth.

This halted the process and no one was willing to back down. It remains to be seen how this situation develops in the future. In the meantime, Davin Haney posted some pictures of himself and his Lamborghini. As the post went viral, many fans shared their disappointment with the champion. Many reminded him to focus and materialize the bout against Stevenson to prove his mettle.
