Devin Haney is joining the broadcast team for the WBO junior welterweight clash between Teofimo Lopez and Shakur Stevenson.
The news was confirmed by Haney’s father and manager, Bill Haney. While the specific role (commentary vs. analyst) hasn’t been defined, Haney could position himself to face the winner. Bill noted that Devin is there to “measure” both fighters against himself.
A Shakur win would offer him the chance to face Haney at 147 lbs for Haney’s WBO Welterweight belt, thus potentially becoming a five-weight world champion. Meanwhile, Teo would have the chance to secure a title in a third weight class. Devin’s seat at the broadcast desk allows him to see their flaws in real-time. In a direct warning to Lopez and Stevenson, Bill Haney stated, “Both of you are on the list.”
