The WBO’s top-ranked welterweight contender continues pushing for a title shot against Devin Haney
Keyshawn Davis is already talking like a Devin Haney fight is inevitable. The unbeaten contender declared a potential showdown with Haney “the biggest fight of the year” despite no fight being announced between the two.
Davis Vs Haney, the biggest fight of the year.⭐️

The post is the latest sign that Keyshawn remains focused on securing a title shot against Haney after being elevated to the top spot in the WBO’s welterweight rankings on May 28.
Devin currently holds the WBO welterweight title, but there has been little indication that a fight with Keyshawn is his immediate priority. Much of the discussion surrounding Haney in recent months has centered on potential matchups with Shakur Stevenson and Ryan Garcia, both of whom would represent major events in their own right.
That has not stopped Keyshawn from publicly campaigning for the opportunity.
The unbeaten contender has repeatedly expressed interest in facing Haney and now appears to be envisioning the scale of the event as well. His latest post drew attention because it skipped straight past negotiations and fight announcements and arrived at a conclusion: that a Haney clash would be boxing’s biggest fight of the year.
The prediction carried a similar feel to comments made recently by Lamont Roach Jr., who spoke about defeating Shakur Stevenson, producing a ‘Fight of the Year’ contender, and eventually cashing in on a lucrative rematch. Like Roach, Keyshawn appears confident enough in the outcome to start imagining what comes after the fight itself.
Whether Devin shares that vision remains unclear.
Keyshawn continues to push for the matchup, while Haney has yet to give him much of a public response.
