Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney blame each other as their fight talks fall apart
Stevenson says Haney's lawyer insisted on 147 at the last minute. Haney says he agreed to 145 and Stevenson's side tried to add a rehydration clause.
Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney have blamed each other on X as talks for their fight appear to have fallen apart over the weight.
Stevenson wrote: "At the 11th hour, after agreeing to 144 and then 145, DeeHoe had his lawyer email and say that he would only fight at 147. Big waste of everybody's time."

Haney replied about an hour later: "You're cap.. I agreed to 145 u went missing for days. Tried to put a rehydration clause on me. I wasted 6 months negotiating with you.. i been negotiating with u since i was gonna sign to Zuffa. Yall did every thing for this fight not to happen even tried to throw Keyshawn in my way."
