After positive steps towards making a fight, Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson are said to be moving on after their teams could not finalise terms behind the scenes. The pair of elite world champions have been linked throughout 2026, but…
Devin Haney has reportedly turned his focus toward IBF champion Liam Paro after negotiations for a showdown with Shakur Stevenson collapsed. Talks broke down over weight disagreements after an initial compromise of 145 pounds fell apart, with Stevenson claiming Haney reverted to the 147-pound limit and Haney alleging Stevenson stalled the process.
Haney is now exploring a unification bout against Paro, targeting a potential ring return on November 28 in Atlanta. Meanwhile, Stevenson's next opponent remains unconfirmed following a period of inactivity since defeating Teofimo Lopez in January.
