Devin Haney Willing To Defend WBO Title Against Keyshawn Davis
Devin Haney says he is open to a fight Keyshawn Davis.

Earlier this month, Davis said on 'Inside The Ring' that if he comes through his junior welterweight debut against Jamaine Ortiz on 'The Ring 6' in New York City on January 31, he would move straight up to 147 pounds.

Haney recently tweeted that he was 'looking at a few different options' for his next fight after winning the WBO welterweight title from Brian Norman Jr. in November on 'The Ring IV: Night of the Champions'.

"He's waiting to see what I do with Jamaine," Davis responded, to which Haney aptly replied: "You on the list, we can get it on."




Davis (13-0, 9 KOs) hasn't been in the ring since he was stripped of his WBO lightweight title in June after missing weight by 4.3 pounds for his clash with Edwin De Los Santos, which was canceled as a result.

Davis was also involved in a backstage altercation with former opponent Nahir Albright, who beat Davis' older brother Kelvin on that same card, rounding off a catastrophic week for the Olympic silver medalist.

But now he's back, and Ortiz, who only has losses to Vasiliy Lomachenko and Teofimo Lopez on his record, stands in his way.

Haney was an undisputed champion at 135 pounds and picked up a title at 140 before becoming a three-weight champ last year.

Davis might skip chasing a belt at junior welterweight but if he can perform how he did against Denys Berinchyk in his last fight, at 147 pounds, it might not be long before he finds himself with gold around his waist once more.
