WBO champion Teofimo Lopez says Devin Haney “nowhere near any picture” when asked whether he would like to fight fellow super-lightweight, interested in “eye-candy” bout with Gervonta Davis – watch Lopez vs Steve Claggett live on Sky Sports from 2am, Sunday
WBO super-lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez says he is a level above Devin Haney and does not need to fight him to prove it.
Lopez makes the second defence of his belt against Steve Claggett live on Sky Sports from 2am on Sunday, and a clash with Haney has been mooted should ‘The Takeover’ come through.
Haney is the WBC super-lightweight ‘champion in recess’ following his defeat to Ryan Garcia in April being rendered a no contest after his opponent tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs.
“He has been helped a lot, in many ways. They wanted to make him seem like he is the greatest. I don’t hate the kid, I’m not knocking him down.
