Devin Haney urged to fight Gervonta Davis despite weight-switch plan

Devin Haney has been urged to pursue a fight with Gervonta Davis and abandon his plans to move up to 140lb.

Haney stepped in the ring for his latest undisputed title defence in Las Vegas at the weekend, controversially outpointing Vasyl Lomachenko, despite many suggesting the Ukrainian did enough to win the bout. There will likely be a multitude of big fights still available for the star including against American rival Shakur Stevenson and a second meeting with 'The Matrix'.

However the champion has revealed his plan to move up to 140lb and attempt to win titles as opposed to making any future defences in his current division. But Davis' trainer Calvin Ford believes that Haney could be tempted to stay in the division by a huge all-American clash this year.
