Keith Thurman sums up Devin Haney’s chances of beating Shakur Stevenson at 145lb catchweight fight

Former world champion Keith Thurman has favored Shakur Stevenson to defeat Devin Haney in a proposed 145-pound catchweight bout. Speaking to FightHype, Thurman cited Stevenson's speed and defensive abilities while questioning Haney's resilience in difficult exchanges. Both fighters are currently engaged in negotiations for the potential matchup, with November 28 in Atlanta previously suggested before emerging financial issues raised questions about the date.

Devin Haney enters the prospective contest following a unanimous decision victory over Brian Norman Jr. to claim the WBO welterweight title. Meanwhile, Stevenson recently became a four-division world champion after defeating Teofimo Lopez by unanimous decision. Despite Haney's natural size advantage, Thurman expressed skepticism regarding Haney's resolve against Stevenson.
