After Devin Haney defeated Regis Prograis to win the WBC Super-Lightweight title, his father and team immediately set their sights on the next challenge, making a daring move by calling out the Gervonta Davis. They indicated their readiness for a high-profile match.
Excitement built up as it was reported that Team Haney made ‘Tank’ Davis an alluring offer. Fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation and details of what could be a major matchup in the professional boxing world.
Gervonta Davis slams Devin Haney and Bill Haney
Gervonta Davis maintained the possibility of another confrontation alive, even though he acknowledged that he declined Haney’s offer. Conversations between Davis and Bill Haney revealed the dynamics, with discussions and negotiations taking center stage. Even though Davis turned down the initial offer, his desire to continue the conversation shows that there is still a chance that the two champions may face off.
The conversation between Davis and Bill adds a fascinating new dimension to the story. Following Bill Haney’s announcement that Gervonta had turned down the $20 million match guarantee against Devin Haney, “Tank” explained his reasoning.
The WBA lightweight champion expressed dissatisfaction on Instagram Live, saying that Team Haney was not reaching the appropriate individuals. “20 million, what are they talking about? 20 million? That can’t even talk to the person he needs to talk about me,” said Davis.
Bill Haney claims Gervonta Davis rejected $20M offer
Bill Haney, the father of two-division world champion Devin Haney, revealed a startling development on his Instagram stories in a dramatic turn of events. Haney claims that Gervonta Davis flatly turned down a whopping $20 million offer for a possible confrontation with his son.
There was a tone of disbelief in Bill Haney’s message, which made the continuing story between the two camps seem even more intriguing. “Bro, you didn’t turn down 20 million, bro? 20 million!” exclaimed Bill Haney. “You didn’t turn down 20 million guaranteed! Are you serious, bro?” he added.
After Bill’s story, Davis wrote in a later-deleted tweet, “Bill can’t even reach the n***a he need to talk to. But for sure I’m turning down 20 mil guaranteed.”
Davis acknowledged that he declined the offer, but he did not completely rule out the possibility of a fight. Afterward, Gervonta Davis gave team Haney instructions to get in touch with Davis’ representatives—those in charge of choosing Davis’ fights—during an Instagram live.
It appears that Devin Haney vs. Gervonta Davis will happen eventually. But Bill Haney insisted on starting the fight at 140 pounds. Conversely, Davis fights in professional boxing at 135 pounds. That being said, if Davis accepts the match at all, the question is whether he will fight Haney at 140 pounds.
