Devin Haney prepares for welterweight unification against Liam Paro

"

During the formal announcement for his welterweight unification against Liam Paro, Devin Haney would field some media questions about the fight, how he’s mapping out his career, and makes claims that other top fighters have been evasive at the negotiating table. Here’s some excepts of what he had to say with the full video interview below. Haney on signing with DAZN “It made the most sense to sign with DAZN because they just had the opponents. Other people were offering me crazy money and of course DAZN gave me a great deal, but how can I become a great in the sport, how can I add these names, collect these belts and do the things that I dream of. So, that’s what made me narrow down to DAZN and me just ultimately choosing to go with DAZN.” On what we can expect to see from him against Paro “Fireworks. I love fighting southpaws. I’m going to the prime of my career. I’m going into my best, I feel strong. I feel so good at that this weight mentally, physically, and like I said, you guys going to see fireworks. “We’re going to prepare for the best Liam Paro on fight night. And like I said, I shared numerous rounds with him so I’m familiar with him. He can say what he want to say about the sparring was four years ago — you’re not going to change that much in four years. We’ve seen tape, he’s ultimately been the the same type of fighter. So, like I said, you guys are going to see a hell of a performance by me.” On wanting the winner of a Ryan Garcia vs Teofimo Lopez unification for undisputed “Of course. I mean, that’s the plan. That’s the plan. The Ryan Garcia fight is the fight I want the most. It starts with Liam Paro but, for sure, once I win this fight you guys know who I got my eyes on.” On why he struggled to make some fights but this Paro fight came so easily “Man, ‘cause these guys do not want to fight. They say what they want to say but they do not want to fight. They do this for social media. When it comes to the negotiating table, they got every excuse in the book. Ya’ll don’t see what we see. These guys do not want to fight.”
