A short time ago some breaking news in the sport has emerged regarding a Devin Haney and Keyshawn Davis fight.
First off, it is one of the old 4 declining boxing sanctioning bodies that has ordered it as a mandatory as a fight and we know that does not mean anything anymore.
As boxers continue to do their own thing and only earlier on this week Jessie Bam Rodriguez in the latest proof of this.
He became the latest not only professional boxer to vacate and toss one of their belts, but he did so now as one of the best pound for pound boxers to do so in the entire sport as well.
Many of the leading fighters in the sport continue to have nothing to do with the old four sanctioning boxing bodies belts and continually vacate their belts all the time.
But if the Devin Haney vs Keyshawn Davis fight does happen next up it is an entertaining scrap and wont have anything to do with happening because some finished belt company said it should happen.
Devin Haney is in the form of his life at the moment and a champion at welterweight and had a very solid win over Brian Norman Jr to win the title since moving up to 147 pounds.
Keyshawn Davis at 15-0 has built up some solid enough form in recent times in boxing amid some hit and miss performances, missed weights and some signs of some declines in between different performances in the ring.
He usually fights at super-lightweight at 140 pounds and has been struggling to make the weight there for some time now.
This possible fight with Devin Haney finally puts that issue to bed for him if in fact this fight does happen in boxing next up for both of them.
A Keyshawn Davis vs Devin Haney fight will put Davis to the test to see if he can really live up to the hype that was bestowed on him from his amateur days for team USA.
Sure, he has won the world title but was touted to be the next big thing in America in boxing at one point.
No more excuses on not been able to make weight will exist in this one as well if they fight at 147 pounds.
Both will be fresh and powerful at the weight but it is Keyshawn Davis who will have a big speed advantage you have to expect in such a bout.
This is that big fight, standout bout that he needed and this far into his professional boxing career, is impressive that he is chasing it and looks to be on the verge of confirming it.
The bout is not official yet but expect news soon.
Keyshawn Davis recently defeated Alrbight in their rematch by decision on points.
