‘Me And Devin Haney Are Never Going To Fight Because He Is Scared Of Me’ World Champion Slams Door On Big Fight
Rolly Romero ruled out a welterweight unification with Devin Haney, calling him scared, days before defending his WBA title against Teofimo Lopez on August 22.
Rolly Romero, the WBA welterweight champion, has ruled out a potential unification fight with fellow champion Devin Haney. In an interview, Romero stated that he and Haney "are never going to fight because he is scared of me," adding that he "doesn't want to waste my time" on the matter. Furthermore, Romero dismissed Haney as "ugly."
The WBO enforced Haney's mandatory against Keyshawn Davis, which went to purse bid in July. The fight did not materialize as Davis declined his share of the purse. Romero, currently defending his title against Teofimo Lopez on August 22, expressed interest in boxing with Haney, despite the latter's dismissal of the idea.
