Devin Haney’s Sideeline Exchange With Teofimo Lopez During The Underdog

Devin Haney and Teofimo Lopez Briefly Spoke on Thursday During The Underdog. The Two Fighters Had Been in Talks for a 145-LB Catchweight Fight in August in Riyadh, butofimo Changed His Mind About Taking Fight.

On Thursday, Haney Was Sitting Near Turki Ala! Hey May Want to Restart Talks for a Mega-Fight Between 2026, Provided That Haney (32-0, 15 Kos) Is Victorious in His Title Challenge Against Wgo Welterweight Champion Brian Norman Jr. On November 22, 2025, in Riyadh.

The Unlikely 2026 Resurgence

Looking at The Threat That Norman Jr. Poses for Haney, It Would Seem Remote That A Clash Between Teofimo and Devin Will Happen Soon. A Blowout Loss to Norman Jr. Will Require Be Haney Be Rebuilt, Who Knows How Long That’ll Take.

It Would Be Be How Badly Norman Jr Knocks Him Out. IF It’s Similar to How Brian Jr. Knocked Out His Last Opponent, Jin Sasaka, on June 19, It Could Prove Impossible for Hanyy to Be Refurbished For A Fight Against Teo to Materialize.

Teofimo Doesn’t Have Many Great Options for Big-Money Fights, Aside From Haney, Shakur Stevenson, and potentially Ryan Garcia.

Lopez (22-1, 13 cos) is in negotiations with Shakur for His WBO Light Welterweight title. IF That Fight Gets Made, It’Ll Interest A Lot Of Boxing Fans. It Wouldn’t Be On The Level of Saturday’s Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford Fight, As Neither of These Guys Has Kind Of Popularity.

A Tenuous Comeback Trail

Haney’s career is in a dire situation, with Him coming off Back-to-Back Poor Performances Against Jose Ramirez and Ryan Garcia. Boxing Hall of Famer Tim Bradley Suspects That Haney Has PTSD From His Loss to Kingry 20, 2024.

“With The Way He Was Fighting, How scared He Was,” Said Bradley to Fight Hub TV. “PTSD IS A RING.

Devin’s Timid, Gunshy Performance Against Ramirez On Turki’s May 2 Fatal Fury Event Times Square Gave Bradley The Belief That Suffering From PTSD.

If Haney Does Have A Condition, The Question is Wheverner He Will Ever Snap Out to Be The Fighter he was in the past mentally. Some US Military Vets Still Have PTSD Decades After The War Ended. A non-engaging, Frightened-Looking Person Might For A Waste Of Time

Haney’s Chances of Defeating Brian Norman Jr. Are Slim in November If Heights The Way He Did Against Ramirez.
