Devin Haney revealed today that the reason he traveled to London for a ring shoot was to meet Turki Al-Shiekh, “Talk about what’s next.”

Turkic talks
The recently defeated Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) is looking to fight on one of Turki’s Riyadh season cards. However, Alsheikh tends to compete for his career, which could be a bad thing for Haney since he has a weak chin.
If Haney gets knocked out by whoever Turki chooses for him, interest in a rematch with Ryan Garcia will be greatly diminished. Fighting can still happen, but will be treated as a joke. Haney was ready to go into the dumps, it was viewed as a hype job and he was never as good as the gullible fans thought.
His best wins were against Georges Kambosos, Regis Progres and Vasily Lomachenko. As we all know, Haney’s victory over Lomachenko was highly controversial, as he appeared to lose the fight in Las Vegas before ultimately winning by 12-round decision. Kambosos was just a flawed, subpar, one-hit wonder hitter who built his career by beating out a confused, rusty, injured Teofimo Lopez.
