Eddie Hearn says Devin Haney (26-0, 15 KOs) is ready to replace Rolando Romero who is about to be officially removed from his bout with Gervonta Davis (25-0, 14 KOs). The fight involving Davis is scheduled for Dec. 5, and Haney is scheduled to return to the ring the day before.
Haney does not yet have an officially confirmed opponent for December. True, the terms of the fight with Joseph Diaz have already been agreed, although his opponent has not yet signed a contract and it is unknown if it will be signed.
Team Davis is skeptical of Haney's claims, and is unlikely to enter into discussions about it. Ultimately, Davis' next opponent is likely to be Mexico's Isaac Cruz.
