In the heart of the boxing sphere, a potential bout between Gervonta Davis and Devin Haney teases enthusiasts with the promise of an epic showdown.

Haney tipped to triumph over Gervonta Davis
Curmel Moton, a rising boxing prodigy, has weighed in on a hypothetical battle among his role models: Gervonta Davis, Shakur Stevenson, and Devin Haney, speculating on an outcome at the welterweight division of 147 lbs. Despite his admiration for all three, Moton casts his prediction with a clear vision.
“At 147, Devin. I feel like Devin’s the only one big enough to go up that high,” Moton stated, highlighting Haney’s physical advantage and skill set as decisive factors. This perspective stems from Haney’s successful leap to Super-Lightweight, where he clinched the WBC title from Regis Prograis via unanimous decision. He continued, “They are all great. I don’t even think they’ll fight as of right now. So, we’ll see in the future.” This quote from Moton, shared with Champside.
