It seemed that the Haney dynasty would be forever at odds with Floyd Mayweather, however, it seems that Devin Haney wants to reconcile with ‘Money‘. It all started when Devin Haney’s career was beginning, as Floyd was training with the young pugilist
In 2017, when ‘Money’ Mayweather was entering for his fight against Conor McGregor, he used Devin Haney as a sparring partner. The problem was that Bill Haney, Devin’s father, claimed that his son had put Mayweather against the ropes. In an interview with Fight Hub TV, Bill Haney even claimed that this brief encounter between Devin Haney and Floyd Mayweather was the reason the champion retired.
Later, Bill Haney even published a video where you could see the Mayweather vs Haney sparring, in addition to praise for the young boxer. However, Bill Haney behaved himself and, instead of continuing the war with Mayweather, decided to end the matter with a comment: “[GOAT] talking… I never forgot anything that TBE taught me!” he wrote. Even Bill Haney got in on the action and shared the video with the caption: “The key to boxing when you learn it from TBE.”
What did Floyd Mayweather say to Devin Haney?
While training together, Mayweather gave several tips to Devin Haney: “The key is to take as few hits as possible, keep him away as much as possible”. He also advised him on how to have a better defensive style: “When he tries to catch me, I lock him up. You go back and do the same thing over and over again…”
Despite the fact that at the time he seemed to have a good relationship with Devin Haney, Mayweather Jr. never wanted to sign Haney to his promotional company. Even for the Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia fight, ‘The Best Ever’ sided with Garcia
Devin Haney’s next fight
There were rumors that Devin Haney’s next fight would be against Teofimo Lopez; however, Lopez reportedly regretted such a proposal, as the Brooklyn boxer would have had to move up to welterweight, so in the end he decided not to fight Haney, so his future is still uncertain
After the controversial fight against Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney’s record stood at 32 wins, 0 losses and 1 no-decision. Although Garcia had won the fight that took place last year, because he tested positive for banned substances, the result was invalidated, so Haney’s record is undefeated.
