00:00What can we expect from Devin, you know, going up at 147, there's a little needle, I guess,
00:09between the pair of you, I guess, from what you're seeing, an exciting, an exciting Devin
00:16Haney. Let's sit, no, let, let's sit it right there. I just told you is that if you don't
00:26want to fight, then you don't want to fight. There's no clauses, there's no catches, there's
00:30no nothing. He just capping for like social media, like he's not going to be like realistic
00:36about the situation. Bill Haney has issued a clear warning to Shakur Stevenson following
00:42reports that a Devin Haney versus Shakur fight has been agreed. Who, who, what's that? Shakur
00:47Stevenson. I told y'all Dev will beat the out of Shakur Stevenson. Yes, but did you
00:52beat the out of Shakur Stevenson beat this. Shakur is no different than everybody else.
01:04They're all really good. Devin is special. He has the style. He has the confidence. He
01:08has the ability to navigate his own career in a way that he's able to fight all of them
01:15and he fares a great chance against all of them. That's something that's special. That's
01:20something that's rare. That's Devin Haney. Speaking confidently, Haney stressed that
01:25Shakur will face elite speed, defense, and championship experience, promising no shortcuts
01:30and a punishing test that will expose any weakness on fight night with worldwide attention.
01:35You know, I want your thoughts on Shakur saying he not fighting Dev unless he got a rehydration
01:40clause.
01:44Shakur, man, honestly, you know what I mean? Because, you know, I can pop it on channels and
01:49like that and do that. And you know what I mean? We can have fun with it. But you know,
01:54over here on the boxing voice, right? I want to ask in or around the division, every bad month
02:02around Devin has gotten an offer to fight or they've been in the ring or I mean, who is who
02:12else has that happened with? All the fights that the people want to see Devin fight, the person
02:19that got either a contract or Devin and got in the ring with him. Can we say that about anybody else?
02:24The long teased bout between Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney has become one of boxing's most
02:29talked about potential super fights, with history and negotiations stretching back years.
02:34Do you think that like, was that ever something that you wanted to consider though? Like also,
02:39because I think people say this narrative was like, yo, if you know you could beat him,
02:42just fight him.
02:43Yeah, but why would I fight this nigga for the least money that I could get when it's like,
02:52okay, cool, let's go through the WBC because that's what I did that they trying to ignore.
02:57They going to ignore that whole part. I said, WBC, y'all do y'all job, enforce the fight and we
03:04going to do it that way. They gave him the deadline to figure out was he going to fight me or fight
03:09Regis. That man decided to move up. But I really made the WBC do their job. That's what it really
03:14came down to. And whatever that they was going to offer, that's what it was going to be at the
03:19end of the day. So if they would have came back and said 75, 25, would you upset him?
03:23I would have had no choice. I just tried to go around the bull that was presented
03:27because that's bull. Like I'm a two division world champ. I unified at one month and 30
03:34in one of the biggest fights at 130 pounds. Like if we're going to be realistic about
03:39Stevenson has openly stated that any potential bout at 147 pounds would come with strict
03:44weight limits after the weigh in. If y'all want me to come to 147,
03:48I'm coming in with rehydration quality. I don't even do that. But why am I going up to these
03:54guys weight classes if I'm not planning on going there? So any of y'all, y'all want to fight me at
03:59147? Yeah, rehydration. 10 pounds. 10 pounds rehydration. Like the IVF rule basically.
04:04You got to understand. I mean, on fight night, when we get in the ring, they're going to be 157,
04:11maybe 158. Max. No bigger than 160 that night. Right. I'm cool with that. So if we could get
04:19it like the IVF rule, 10 pound rehydration. Yes. But think about it. If there's no rehydration clause,
04:28these guys going to give it up to 170 pounds. 175. I'm in the 140s on fight night. Yeah. So if I'm 140,
04:38they 170. What am I in here wrestling around with these? Come on, bro. Bill Haney has been firm
04:45in his stance on rehydration clauses, making it clear he won't accept any such limits for Devin
04:50Haney's fights, a position that would directly impact negotiations if Shakur Stevenson demands
04:55one as part of a deal. He's on the list. Is that a fight you guys are seeking or are you leaving it
05:01alone since he's saying that it would require Devin to get a rehydration clause? Is that something
05:09you're willing to get on a phone and discuss how many pounds exactly? Well, when you're speaking
05:16about Debo, you might hear a whole lot of that's inconsistent with things that you say about
05:24normal fighters. When you talk about a generational talent like that, you would expect those that are
05:33elite to look to have, you know, to be on a level playing field. What you weigh is what you weigh,
05:42and how you get down the next day is, you know, it's what it's all about, you know?
05:50And that's what that is. Bill Haney has made it clear he isn't interested in negotiating any
05:56catchweight terms for a potential fight involving his son, Devin Haney, a stance rooted in his broader
06:01refusal to accept rehydration clauses or weight stipulations that could limit Devin's size advantage.
06:07Are you willing to do a catchweight, which is what he wants to put on? Not a catchweight, but a
06:11rehydration, which is what he said it would require in order for him to fight, Devin?
06:18No, what he said was that he doesn't do any negotiation. He has a management team that does it,
06:26and let's just stay and keep it right there. Everything that he's saying,
06:30he's not going to 100% stand on it because he says he doesn't negotiate against himself and refers
06:39back to his team. So I can't take any of that serious, you know, especially, like I said,
06:49given an opportunity that you understand that he says that based on Connor Ben doing something that
06:57he felt might be unfair and putting it on Chris Eubank is what he's saying that he might do to
07:05him. Bruce Crinkton said he believes Shakur Stevenson will outbox Devin Haney by controlling
07:10distance, timing, and angles. According to Crinkton, Shakur's footwork, defense, and ring IQ would
07:16neutralize Haney's jab, limit exchanges, and turn the fight into a technical chess match.
07:21Who would you favor at 147 between him and Devin? Shakur?
07:28That's a tough fight. I like both of those styles together, but I do think that Shakur is just more
07:34defensively aware of sound and aware. It's possible that Shakur may win that fight. I feel like he's a
07:42problem for a lot of guys because of his style. But Devin, both of those styles together, that's a great
07:48matchup. And I don't know. As I see what you can fight, I genuinely don't know.
07:52According to many analysts, Shakur Stevenson possesses all the tools to become boxing's next
07:57big star with technical skill, defensive mastery, and exceptional boxing IQ that could help carry the
08:03sport forward as fans increasingly appreciate elite technique over sheer power.
08:08Devin Haney, you know, Conor Benn. Like, there's a lot of fights that, like, Shakur can, like,
08:17be involved in and beat all these dudes, man. Beat all of them. Has a chance of beating all of them,
08:25right? And solidifying, you know, his mark in the sport, you know, being, you know, the great of his
08:36generation. You know, when Crawford left, I told y'all that, you know, Shakur was the next guy on the
08:42throne. And I truly wholeheartedly still believe that. I know there's guys that has worked with Shakur
08:49in the past that swear up and down. Oh, I forgot. Murataya. Murataya. Murataya is there too. Guys like
08:57Andy Cruz. I mean, there's a lot of talented guys that people respect that Shakur has the ability to
09:05freaking challenge. His disciplined approach and ring savvy set him apart, making him a potential
09:10defining figure in boxing's future, particularly as he continues to notch significant victories and
09:15maintain an undefeated record. Now imagine him fighting all those guys and putting that on his
09:20resume, man. We talking about, we talking about legendary, legendary status. We talking about
09:27Mount Rushmore type of stuff, you know, because, you know, all these guys are the elite guys of this
09:32generation and people respect him. And if Shakur was to beat them, you know, he's going to definitely
09:38make his mark heavy in the sport and become extremely popular, extremely popular, you know,
09:44even more popular than what Terrence Crawford is right now, you know. And I feel like Shakur can be
09:50that face of American boxing that, you know, we've always had. You know, we have Floyd Mayweather.
09:56I think he can be as popular as Floyd Mayweather, if not more popular than Floyd Mayweather,
10:02you know, so I don't know, man, guys, you know, tell me what you think, you know, am I tripping?
10:09But there's a lot of potential matchup for Shakur that can really grow his star, man.
10:16A potential Shakur Stevenson versus Devin Haney clash promises to be a true mega fight for boxing,
10:22uniting two of the sport's brightest stars. With both fighters undefeated, technically elite,
10:27and hungry to cement their legacies, the matchup would showcase top-level skill,
10:32strategy, and excitement, captivating fans worldwide and defining a new era in the sport.
10:37The dream confirms what I've been saying. Three-division world champion, former undisputed
10:44lightweight, former WBC junior welterweight, and reigning WBO welterweight world champion,
10:50first ballot Hall of Famer once he retires, superstar boxer, top five pound-for-pound best
10:55fighters in the world, Devin the Dream Haney. 33 wins, no loss, no draw, 15 wins by way of knockout.
11:02He calls out another first ballot Hall of Famer of his era. Ironically enough, Devin Haney is 27,
11:10and the person he calls out is 28 years old, who's another first ballot Hall of Famer,
11:17Olympic silver medalist, four-division world champion, former unified super featherweight,
11:23who simultaneously up until yesterday held the WBC 135-pound title and the WBO 140-pound junior
11:31welterweight title. At the same time, superstar boxer, four-division champion, who will be a first
11:37ballot Hall of Famer. Shakur Stevenson, who has 25 wins, no losses, no draw, 11 wins by way of knockout.
11:44So Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney, as I said, and Devin Haney confirmed it as you see there,
11:50this is the next super fight in the sport of boxing.
11:54Meanwhile, Devin Haney has firmly established himself as one of boxing's most technically
11:58gifted fighters, earning recognition for his lightning-fast reflexes, pinpoint accuracy,
12:04and methodical approach inside the ring. Observers have often praised his ability to control fights,
12:09adapt to opponents, and maintain composure under pressure, qualities that make him a formidable
12:14challenge for anyone. Analysts like Bernie have highlighted that Haney's combination of speed,
12:20strategy, and discipline positions him as a genuine test for even the most decorated champions.
12:25When comparing Haney to Shakur Stevenson, the potential matchup takes on even greater significance.
12:31Both fighters bring elite-level skill, sharp boxing intelligence, and a hunger to cement their
12:36legacies. A fight between them would not just be a contest of talent, but a pivotal moment capable
12:41of defining their careers. Bernie emphasized that the bout would showcase high-level strategy,
12:46resilience, and technical mastery, making it a must-watch clash for boxing fans worldwide.
12:51Accomplishments, because now, uh, Shakur is a four-way world champion. Devin is a three-way world champion.
12:57Devin was undisputed, but now, uh, Shakur is a two-time lineal champion, you know, so he's a two-time
13:03ring magazine winner, you know, um, two-time unified champion. If you want to add the ring,
13:08as far as with the WBO, he was unified at 130, you know, um, so, uh, so he's a two-time unified champion,
13:15two-time lineal champion, um, beat a guy like Tiafimo Lopez, who rises to the occasion, um,
13:21had a close fight with George Kambosis. Um, you can make a claim that he was fighting out of
13:26frustration or out of emotion, you know, um, and that was it. He was in his prime too,
13:32you know, uh, Josh Taylor seemed to be drained at 140, um, not taking away from, uh, Devin, but he
13:37was already moving up to 47, they were saying, um, you know, Lomachenko was a little older and
13:42smaller, so, uh, you know, they, they're about even in terms of that. Greg Hackett claims Shakur
13:48is deliberately avoiding the fight because he knows Devin brings the same elite skill set to the
13:53table. According to Hackett, Haney's speed, defense, discipline, and ring IQ mirror Shakur's
13:58strengths, removing any stylistic advantage Stevenson usually enjoys. Hackett argued that
14:04Shakur prefers opponents who are either slower or more aggressive, allowing him to control range and
14:09tempo while Devin would force a high level chess match with no easy openings. He suggested that
14:15the risk to reward ratio doesn't favor Shakur, especially against a fighter who can match him
14:20technically and mentally for 12 rounds, making the fight far more dangerous than fans realize.
14:25That's a great fight. He knows, he knows Dev has something for him, but he got something for
14:30Dev. It's a great fight. He know Dev, he know he could possibly lose to Dev. There's things that
14:36Dev understand about boxing that Shakur understand and he wouldn't be able to just take full advantage
14:41of Devin Haney. You know what I mean? They both, they both got an education. That's what I'm saying.
14:45This comes down to education. That's why Floyd and him used to yell skills pay the bills,
14:50skills pay the bills. You know what I'm saying? You got to really be in the gym working on your
14:53skills package. A lot of these dudes ain't working like they think they working. You know what I'm
14:57saying? They in the gym, they sweating, you know what I mean? They working hard, but the information
15:01that's being transferred to him is bullshit information and it's shown in the fights.
15:06But who am I? RMZ, think of the five piece. Why everybody want to see Shakur and Dev when
15:13Keyshawn called him out? All of those is great fights. I want to see them all.
15:18Many experts still believe Shakur Stevenson isn't dodging Devin Haney, but is instead pursuing more
15:24significant challenges that could elevate his legacy. Reports indicate that Stevenson has explored the
15:29possibility of facing Conor Benn, signaling a focus on high profile career defining fights,
15:35rather than simply taking the next available opponent. This approach reflects a calculated
15:39strategy. Stevenson appears to be prioritizing long term impact and legacy over immediate bouts,
15:45carefully selecting opponents who can enhance his reputation and test his skills at the highest
15:50level. By targeting marquee names and high stakes matchups, he demonstrates a willingness to step
15:55into fights that could define his career rather than chasing easy wins. This mindset has sparked
16:01extensive debate in the boxing community, with some praising his ambition and vision for building
16:06a lasting legacy, while others question whether avoiding certain matchups might create unnecessary
16:10delays.
16:12Okay, let's talk about this Shakur and the kind of Ben thing. Um, Shakur's been getting a lot of flack
16:17because, um, fans feel like that Shakur is ducking Devin Haney. Um, how do I feel about Shakur ducking Devin
16:25Haney? I don't think it's true. I don't think it's a thing. Uh, Shakur said he's going to go up,
16:30put a rehydration clause on a man to fight him. Is Devin Haney going to take a rehydration clause to
16:35fight? If not, I don't, I don't think so. So why are we even having the debate about him fighting Devin?
16:43It's not like he's fighting a champion to get a, to get a reg, random accolade, like a belt or
16:49something, you know? So it's really irrelevant to even bring up why Shakur is not fighting Devin.
16:55He's fighting Conor Ben because he feels like he needs to fight Conor Ben because he disrespected
17:00him or whatever the case may be. It's really nothing to it. Fans are trying to put Devin and
17:05Shakur against each other. I would love to see the fight, but it's whatever.
17:09Stevenson has made it clear that he intends to achieve big things in boxing and isn't
17:15intimidated by tough challenges. Speaking directly to critics who question his size and suggest he
17:20may be too short to compete effectively at 147 pounds against fighters like Devin Haney or Conor
17:26Ben, Stevenson responded with confidence and determination. He emphasized that physical
17:31attributes alone won't define his success in the ring, highlighting his skill, speed, defensive
17:36mastery, and ring intelligence as key tools that allow him to compete at the highest level regardless
17:41of size. Stevenson's mindset reflects a focus on strategy, preparation, and adaptability, showing
17:48that he's willing to face elite opponents to solidify his legacy. By openly addressing doubters
17:53and expressing his ambition to take on significant high-profile fights, he demonstrates not just
17:58confidence but a clear vision for his career, signaling that he intends to prove naysayers wrong
18:03and make a lasting impact in the sport.
18:05I'm into big fights. I like big fights. I like big money fights. I like proving that I'm the best
18:10and I like doing things that people say I can't do. There's a lot of people that will say that I'm
18:15too little for Conor Ben and I can't do it, so it makes for a tremendous fight. It's gonna be a good
18:21beef. I like the beef. I like the story behind it. It's a tremendous fight.
18:25I just wanted to follow up on the Conor Ben conversation. I saw him after the fight, and I just asked him,
18:30I said, hey, would you agree to that rehydration clause? And he said, F no. So my question for you is,
18:36how does that fight get made then?
18:38If he's not gonna agree, then we probably don't fight, so he's just wasting time. We'll see, but I'm a businessman
18:45at the end of the day, and like I said, he did a rehydration clause with Chris Eubank.
18:51Chris Eubank was in the ring half. Why can't he do the same thing?
18:56Keyshawn Davis has also called out Haney. Following his impressive recent victory,
19:00Davis wasted no time stepping into the spotlight and calling out Devin Haney,
19:04signaling his readiness to challenge one of the sport's top talents. Davis, known for his sharp
19:09combinations, speed, and relentless pressure style, made it clear that he sees himself as a
19:14legitimate contender capable of testing Haney at the highest level. By publicly challenging Haney,
19:20Davis is positioning himself as a fighter, unafraid to take risks and pursue high-profile
19:25matchups that could define his career. Analysts note that Davis' skill set makes him a dangerous
19:30opponent for any champion, including Haney. The callout has sparked excitement among fans,
19:36who are eager to see how Davis' aggressive style would match up against Haney's technical precision.
19:41If the fight materializes, it promises to be a high-stakes clash with potential title
19:46implications and significant career impact for both fighters.
19:50You're already a bright enough star that he'd be willing to take. Because, you know,
19:55as a businessman, risk-reward, you think you bring enough to the table that he'd want to take the
19:59fight? He would take the fight?
20:01Hopefully, bro. I hope he would take the fight. In terms of answering your question,
20:04a bright enough star, he's already entertaining me on Twitter and social media and stuff like that.
20:09So, um, I guess he sees some money potential in this fight right here. Um, but what I would like to do is I would like to become champion because that just speaks for itself. Once I come to the champion with the table, you can't play with me. You know what I'm saying? Like everybody know me. People know me. I can go to the UK and sell. Like I can go anywhere and sell. My first main event, I sold 10,000 tickets. I sell. Period. You know what I'm saying? That's why he's entertaining me because I am a star.
20:38But when I come with that world title, whether I beat Dalton Smith or I go move up a weight and beat Lewis Crocker, once I come with them world titles, it's just a different story.
20:49Devin Haney has made it clear that he is willing to face Keyshawn Davis without any special conditions, demonstrating his straightforward, no-nonsense approach to competition. Bill Haney, his father and trainer, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that Devin prefers to fight at a natural weight rather than exhaust himself with restrictive rehab.
21:08Dehydration or catchweight stipulations, a point that contrasts with reports about Shakur Stevenson's preference for structured weight management. On the other side, Davis has admitted to some lingering frustration toward Haney, recalling early interactions when he felt underestimated as a younger fighter. Despite that history, both men are now focused on the bigger picture, opportunity, career growth, and legacy.
21:30The dynamic between them highlights how boxing is not just about talent, but also about strategy, past experiences, and calculated decision-making. As these factors continue to shape negotiations and public interest, anticipation grows for a potential matchup that could carry major significance for both fighters' futures and reputations in the sport.
21:49I want to fight Keyshawn Davis. As I said yesterday, he fights and beats Keyshawn. Then guess what? It makes the fight with Shakur and Devin that much bigger, right? Because it's a redemption, it's a storyline, so on and so forth.
22:04Devin has history, sparring session. We know the history, right?
22:07So, Devin Haney wants that fight. As we know, this is not a surprise. This is what Devin Haney does. No stipulations. As far as the training manager, Bill Haney stated yesterday on the Boston Voice, he stated,
22:25why we have to have stipulations, roadblocks? We ain't trying to do that. Devin moved up, so he don't have to drain himself. Why would he have to drain himself, right?
22:33Nonetheless, Shakur wants a 10-pound rehydration cause. Keyshawn, the businessman Davis, as you're going to see right here, he explains why he don't like Devin Haney.
22:48Because, and people are asking me and sending me, this is an old clip that Keyshawn did with Walo and Gilly, and people are asking me my thoughts has resurfaced because obviously the Devin Haney, Keyshawn Davis, you know, a saga has started to kick up dust.
23:02Can Shakur Stevenson finally outbox Devin Haney, or will Haney's skill and strategy prevail? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
