Teofimo Lopez vs. Devin Haney a long time coming?

Teofimo Lopez has been lobbying for a fight against Devin Haney for what seems like ages. The reason behind his reluctance to let this fight go is rooted in the dispute of the WBC belts.

Devin Haney holds the WBC lightweight title, while Teofimo Lopez is certified as the WBC franchise titleholder. Thus began a debate about which of the belts was the more significant achievement.

Teofimo Lopes, to prove his supremacy in the lightweight division, hopes to go toe-to-toe against Devin Haney.

“Let’s make the [explicit] fight happen. You’re saying this and you’re saying that. Earlier this week, you were supposed to meet with my promoter Bob Arum and y’all pulled out, so we can negotiate this fight,” said Teofimo Lopez. (h/t: Press Enterprise)

Teofimo Lopez is currently slated to butt heads with his IBF mandatory George Kambosos Jr.

Devin Haney, on the other hand, recently revealed that he's on a collision course with Joseph Diaz Jr.

Diaz was initially looking to meet Ryan Garcia inside the squared circle. However, an injury to his hand forced Garcia out of the fight. This created a void that could very well be filled by Haney. The Haney camp claims they have sent a formal offer but Diaz is yet to respond.
