Romero Moves On From Haney

WBA welterweight champion Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero (17-2, 13 KOs) has declared he is done pursuing a unification fight against WBO champ Devin Haney (33-0, 15 KOs) after claiming Haney’s side went silent following Rolly offering a “lucrative offer” to Haney.

“I don’t want anything to do with Devin Haney ever again. He wasted my time. He said we sent him a great, lucrative offer and all that stuff after calling me out and saying I’m ducking. I just didn’t want to deal with them originally because, like I said, they are clowns and I knew that they were gonna do this,” Romero

Romero has not fought since his upset win over Ryan Garcia last May at Times Square in New York, where he dropped Garcia and controlled the action over 12 rounds to claim the WBA Regular welterweight title before being elevated to full champion following Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis’ departure from the division. While a Haney fight would offer Rolly the chance to unify by adding the WBO belt, he insisted he did what he could to make the fight.

“I was like, ‘Oh yeah, all right, I’m ducking Devin. I don’t care.’ But the second I put the pressure, boom, who sent the contract? Who sent the deal? Who sent the offer? We were going to do it on Prime. Who sent everything? Me,” Romero added
