Devin Haney and Liam Paro have agreed to meet in a WBO and IBF welterweight unification bout in the US before the end of the year, sources told The Ring's Mike Coppinger. The fight has not been officially announced, and no date, venue or broadcaster has been named.
It would be Haney's first fight since November 2025, when he beat Brian Norman. Paro's only professional loss is a split decision against Richardson Hitchins.
Haney signed with DAZN through his own company, Devin Haney Promotions, after turning down a move to Dana White's Zuffa Boxing, a decision Eddie Hearn praised this week.
