Gervonta Davis Allegedly Rejects 20 Million Dollar Offer to Fight Devin Haney: Bill Haney Lashes Out

The world of boxing is witnessing another epic storm as Bill Haney, father and coach of lightweight champion Devin Haney, unleashed a new bombshell, stating that ‘Gervonta Davis had turned down a whopping 20 million dollars to fight against Devin Haney’.

As an eminent figure in the boxing world, Gervonta Davis has made a name for himself with a pristine record of 25-0, maintaining a knockout percentage of 96%. However, Davis’s recent decision, as claimed, not to accept a fight against Devin Haney has left many fans and industry figures speechless.

In a recent interaction with Boxing Scene, Bill Haney expressed his discontent and shock, and went as far as accusing Davis’s promotional team, Mayweather Promotions, of not allowing the Davis-Haney fight to materialize.

“It can’t happen because Floyd [Mayweather], Leonard [Ellerbe], and them won’t let it happen. He turned down 20 million,” Haney said in an impassioned statement.

Gervonta’s route of evading the fight with Devin, according to Haney, is an evident indication of the Mayweather camp’s belief in Davis’s inability to come out victorious if the sizeable contest does occur. However, it is to be noted that there’s no independent confirmation of the said cash offer or its rejection from Davis or his promotional team.

Devin Haney, or ‘The Dream’ as he’s more widely known, boasts an unbeaten 26-0 record in the lightweight division. His impressive track record and remarkable boxing prowess are enough reasons to back his claim for a shot at the undefeated Davis.

As a big-ticket fight involving two boxers in their prime, the matchup would undoubtedly draw attention from boxing enthusiasts around the globe, with both fighters having large fan bases. A bout of this magnitude could generate a significant payday, which makes Davis’s alleged decision to decline a 20 million dollar offer even more puzzling.

Moreover, assuming this bout were to take place, it would be a boon for the sport, which is always on the lookout for blockbuster fights. It’s these high-profile matches that bring global recognition and revenue to the sport of boxing.

While Davis’s fans wait for his retort to this claim by Bill Haney or an official comment from the Mayweather corner, speculations continue to swirl, necessitating some clarity and possibly, a reconsideration of what could be a landmark fight in both boxers’ careers. Will it be a risk that Davis is willing to take to prove his mettle against ‘The Dream’? Time will tell.

This entire situation has triggered fresh intrigue within the boxing community around the unanswered question: What would such a fight look like? However, for now, in Bill Haney’s eyes, the answer is clear – a victory for his son, Devin Haney.

“He knows that Devin will beat him. That’s why he turned it down,” claimed the outspoken Haney, expressing his unwavering confidence in the eventuality of a Haney victory if the fight ensues.

In conclusion, whether or not this big-ticket face-off between Gervonta Davis and Devin Haney will materialize remains uncertain. However, what is clear is that competitors of this caliber squaring off in the ring would surely be a momentous occasion in the world of boxing, and perhaps, even worth a 20-million-dollar risk.
