Devin Haney’s Sideline Exchange with Teofimo Lopez during the subdog

Devin Haney and Teophimo Lopez talked briefly on Thursday during the Menut. The two fighters had been in talks for a 145 -pound weights struggle in August in Riad, but Teophimo changed his mind about the fight.

On Thursday, Haney was sitting near Turki Alshikh when he proposed that Teophimo would come and talk to him. He may want to try to restart the conversations for a mega-lluitus with each other in 2026, provided that Haney (32-0, 15 kos) is victorious in his title challenge against the heavy weight champion of Wbo, Brian Norman Jr., on November 22, 2025, in Riyadh.

The unlikely resurgence of 2026

Considering the threat posed by Norman Jr. For Haney, it would seem remote that a clash between Theophimo and Devin pass soon. A loss of explosion for Norman Jr. It will require that Haney be rebuilt, who knows how long it will take.

It would depend on the evil that Norman JR took away. If it is similar to how Brian Jr. eliminated his latest opponent, Jin Sasaka, on June 19, could demonstrate – impossible for Haney to be reformed to fight against Teo to materialize.

Theophimo does not have many great options for great money fights, apart from Haney, Shakur Stevenson and potentially Ryan Garcia.

López (22-1, 13 kos) is in Shakur negotiations for the defense of his heavy weight title Light Wbo. If this struggle is made, it will interest many boxing fans. It would not be at the level of the struggle of Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford on Saturday, as neither has this type of popularity.

A dimly comeback trail

Haney’s career is in a terrible situation, and he went out to the bad performances against Jose Ramirez and Ryan Garcia. Tim Bradley, Boxing Famer Hall, suspects that Haney has PTSD of his loss in Kingry on April 20, 2024.

“With the way of fighting, the fear he had,” Bradley said to Fight Hub TV. “The PTSD is a real thing in boxing. It’s a real thing, and that’s what I saw with Devin, seeing it running around the ring. I was like:” This uncle was trained with (old sprinter) USain Bolt? Who did he train with? It is running around the ring as if you were crazy. “”

Devin’s timid and fantastic performance against Ramírez’s Fury Fury Fury Event in Times, by Times Square, gave Bradley the belief that PTSD was suffering.

If Haney has this condition, the question is whether he will ever leave to be the fighter he was in the past mentally. Some United States military veterinarians still have PTSD decades after the war ended. A person who does not sink and scared appearance can be a waste of time

Haney’s possibilities to defeat Brian Norman Jr. They are thin in November if fighting the way to do it against Ramírez.
