I seen his daddy the opposite day within the health club and I advised him that after I bought to the division his son was out of there however his son is preventing catchweights, saying he need to struggle at 144, 145. Look, I bought a belt, let’s make it occur. I’ll come to a catchweight too, it don’t matter. And that’s details.”

“I feel Devin Haney really need that struggle [against Lopez]. He actually really feel like he can beat Teofimo Lopez, he been on Teofimo Lopez’s heels for a minute. Teo form of bizarre, he making an attempt to struggle Boots however he don’t need to struggle Devin. I don’t know what’s happening with him.”
