Devin Haney had heard about all he could take from Teofimo Lopez.

Lopez’s loud outbursts at their first press conference to promote The Ring’s “FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves” card May 2 in Times Square already annoyed Haney. Once Lopez contended that the “business” of boxing factored into his split-decision defeat to George Kambosos Jr., Haney couldn’t help but to interject as Lopez and his upcoming opponent, Arnold Barboza Jr., went back and forth during a roundtable discussion moderated by DAZN’s Todd Grisham.

“When y’all fought, did he beat yo ass when y’all fought?,” Haney asked Lopez during a session that premiered on The Ring’s YouTube channel recently.

An incredulous Lopez replied, “No, he did not. I put him down in the 10th round, with my condition, on top of that. And you shouldn’t be talking right now about beating asses, because the man to my left whupped that.”

Lopez (21-1, 13 KOs), The Ring and WBO junior welterweight champion, referred to Ryan Garcia, who dropped Haney three times and won their 12-round bout by majority decision a year ago at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The result of Garcia-Haney was changed to a no-contest because Garcia tested positive for ostarine, a banned substance.

Haney referred to the New York State Athletic Commission overturning his loss when he twice asked Lopez, “I got my 0, do you? I got my 0, do you?”

The condition to which Lopez referred was caused by a small tear in his esophagus, which allowed air to surround his chest wall, heart and neck according to an ESPN.com story written by Mark Kriegel in December 2021. Multiple doctors informed Kriegel that Lopez, who was a 10-1 favorite to beat Kambosos in November 2021, could’ve died by boxing Kambosos while battling that affliction.

Their 12-round fight for Lopez’s lightweight titles was postponed multiple times, including once because Lopez tested positive for COVID-19 at the start of fight week in Miami in June 2021.

Haney dismissed what he considers unacceptable excuses from Lopez for the lone loss on his record.

“Kambosos f--ked you up,” said Haney, who easily outboxed Kambosos in two 12-round, 135-pound title fights in 2022. “Kambosos f--ked you up. Kambosos f--ked you up. Kambosos f--ked you up. Kambosos f--ked you up.”

The contentious exchange escalated when Lopez implied something underhanded occurred when Kambosos beat him on two scorecards in The Theater at Madison Square Garden.

“It’s a business,” Lopez stressed. “It’s a business. Remember that – it’s a business. They did it to me before any of you guys.”

Barboza asked, “Did what to you?”

Lopez again suggested he was victimized on a card promoted by Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing.

“The business aspect of boxing,” Lopez said. “All right?”

Barboza (32-0, 11 KOs) couldn’t believe his ears.

“You’re saying Kambosos didn’t beat your ass?,” asked Barboza, who was dumbfounded a second time when Lopez stated that was not what happened.

“Oh my God, bro,” Barboza exclaimed. “What are you talking about?”

“I beat my own ass,” Lopez explained. “I did it to myself. Absolutely. How many times they postpone that fight? How many times?”

Hearn’s company won a purse bid by default in October 2021 for the right to promote Lopez-Kambosos, even though Matchroom did not promote either fighter at that time. Bob Arum’s Top Rank Inc. has been Lopez’s promoter throughout his eight-year pro career. Lou DiBella, who now co-promotes Kambosos with Matchroom, was Kambosos’ primary promoter at that time.

Matchroom became the promoter of Lopez-Kambosos because Triller, which won the purse bid by offering an astounding $6,018,000, postponed the event several times and ultimately failed to meet its contractual obligations to both boxers set by the IBF. Australia’s Kambosos was the IBF’s mandatory challenger for one of Lopez’s championships.

Lopez later moved up to the junior welterweight limit of 140 pounds and won the Ring and WBO belts he will defend when he battles Barboza on May 2.

Haney (31-0, 15 KOs, 1 NC), of Henderson, Nevada, will oppose onetime WBC/WBO 140-pound champ Jose Ramirez (29-2, 18 KOs) in the 12-round co-feature May 2. Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs, 1 NC), of Victorville, California, is scheduled face former WBA super lightweight champ Rolando “Rolly” Romero (16-2, 13 KOs) in the 12-round main event.

The Haney-Ramirez and Garcia-Romero matches will be contested at the welterweight limit of 147 pounds.

DAZN Pay-Per-View will distribute this four-fight show from New York and another event the next night, May 3, from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Mexican legend Canelo Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 KOs) will encounter Cuba’s William Scull (23-0, 9 KOs) in a 12-round main event for Alvarez’s Ring, WBA, WBC and WBO and Scull’s IBF super middleweight titles at ANB Arena.

The two pay-per-view cards can be purchased separately for $59.99 apiece or bundled for $89.99.
