It’s been talked about quite a lot lately, almost to the point it’s almost common knowledge, but today DAZN officially announced they’ve signed an exclusive multi-deal with welterweight titleholder Devin Haney. The formal announcement comes directly on the heels of a proposed fight with Shakur Stevenson falling by the wayside.
“I’m at a point in my career where I want the biggest challenges and the fights the fans want to see,” said Devin Haney. “I’m excited to partner with DAZN. This agreement removes any doubt or uncertainty about my ability to make the major fights in boxing. I’m in position to fight anyone, and I’m focused, motivated and ready for whoever is next.”
DAZN executive mentione that they expect the deal to pave the way for them to deliver marquee matchups for Haney and their network heading forward.
Haney, 27, hasn’t fought in nearly a year, last beating Brian Norman last November to take the WBO welterweight title. Hopefully this announcement will have him more active than he has been as of late.
