Recently, Devin Haney pulled off an impressive victory over Brian Norman Jr., and Bill Haney, who is both father and manager to Devin, hinted at future plans. The elder Haney took to social media on X, posting about a possible matchup between his son and Rolando Romero. The statement sparked plenty of speculation online about what’s next for the talented young fighter.
Bill's post has stirred talks of a switch in focus away from previously considered opponents like Davis and Garcia. Instead, Rolly Romero now stands as a more tangible target given Haney's new position as WBO titleholder. Notably, Romero hasn't shied away from taunting Haney’s style either, once suggesting ankle weights to slow him down.
Negotiation rumors suggest that discussions have taken place but appear stalled for the time being. Despite this, many fans are already buzzing about the possibility of Haney versus Romero being the standout boxing event of 2026.
Whether these speculations will solidify into reality remains to be seen, but one thing is clear—Rolly Romero remains firmly in Devin Haney's sights.
