Haney's attention has focused on Javier Fortuna in recent weeks, however, it looks like the Dominican fighter may cross gloves with Ryan Garcia this spring. For Linares it will be a return to the ring after more than a year hiatus. The last time the Venezuelan fighter fought was in February last year.
Haney, 22, returned to the ring in December after shoulder surgery. The World Boxing Council belt holder defeated Yuriorkis Gamboa by unanimous decision to defend his title for the second time.
