Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson spent Sunday arguing on X about a fight that has not been made.
Stevenson's first post on X tagged Haney: "LETS GO!!!!" A few hours later Haney set his terms: "147.. no rehydration let's get it done."
Stevenson replied: "Oh so it's not done? Why u post me on ya instagram then I thought the s*** was done already." He added: "My tweet scared Dev 😂😂😂 ... u posted me first chill."
Haney pushed back. "U know it's not done.. stop the games. Have u signed a contract for it? Let go of this rehydration clause," he wrote, followed by: "I fear none but Allah."

Stevenson wrote: "Prove it then! Let's scrap f*** the online negotiations Lets drop our nuts in front of the world and make the biggest and best fight in boxing!" Haney's answer was to repeat his terms: "Drop your nuts & rehydration clause then.."
A rehydration clause limits how much weight a fighter can put back on between the weigh-in and the fight. Haney wants the fight at 147lb, the welterweight limit, without one. Stevenson, the WBO champion at 140lb, later wrote: "I came from 126 to 140 won belts in all them divisions 😂😂😂" and "ME AGAINST THE WORLD LETS DO IT 👑".
No fight between the two has been agreed, though on Monday BoxingScene reported the pair are in "advanced discussions" for a welterweight title fight. Stevenson also said on Sunday that Gary Antuanne Russell and Raymond Muratalla want $3 million each to face him.
