Mayweather Hints at Davis-Haney Showdown After 'Crazy' Sparring Session
Floyd Mayweather reflects on a wild sparring match between Gervonta Davis and Devin Haney as talks heat up for a potential fight this year.
Floyd Mayweather has described a past sparring session between Gervonta Davis and Devin Haney as 'crazy work,' reigniting interest in a potential matchup as Davis prepares for his return to the ring. The two fighters previously shared the ring when Haney was just 16 years old, and Mayweather noted the intensity of their exchanges despite Davis not being in peak condition at the time.
Since parting ways with Mayweather Promotions in 2022, Davis has faced a challenging stretch, fighting only four times and remaining winless since June 2024 due to various external issues. Now, he is eyeing a shot at the WBO welterweight title held by Haney, who claimed the belt after a unanimous decision victory over Brian Norman Jr. in November.
As Davis gears up for a comeback this autumn, Haney appears to be the frontrunner for the matchup, pushing aside a potential fight with Floyd Schofield. Instead, Haney is set to face Lucas Bahdi for the vacant WBA lightweight crown, while Davis looks to reclaim his former glory.
