Both appear to have moved on from talks on the fight for now recently but never say never on it this year.
Who knows what will happen both these American boxers this year in a huge year of fights happening and being made in the sport worldwide at this time.
The mistake both looked to make recently was discussing the bout on social media. A classic error. They should keep the talks private like all big fights are done when they are getting made.
That looked to derail the discussions recently the more they went on to websites and social media with talks.
12 Reasons Why Rolly Romero vs Devin Haney is a Big Fight:

Clash of Styles
Another thing to note — this is a classic technician vs brawler matchup:
- Devin Haney: Master boxer with elite footwork, jab, ring IQ, and distance control. He likes to outpoint opponents with precision and movement, rarely gets hit clean.
- Rolly Romero: Aggressive pressure fighter with heavy hands, explosive power (especially left hook and overhand right), and a swarmer style. He wants to cut off the ring, walk Haney down, and land big shots.
All in all, it remains a good fight as well that fans would appreciate it.
Both could go in opposite directions for now to other big fights but it remains there to be made in 2026 at the end of the day.
Ryan Garcia could also look to chase the Devin Haney rematch as well don’t forget.
