During the same broadcast, Broner repeatedly alluded to his upcoming return and training plans.

“We’re going to the gym tomorrow morning,” Broner said.

At another point during the live broadcast, Broner reminded viewers that despite the party atmosphere surrounding the trip, he still had a fight ahead of him.

“Hey SSB. I had a full fight on Saturday,” Broner said. “Bro, focus, man.”

Broner also claimed to have maintained discipline throughout the day.

“Sober all day, I talk,” he said.

However, later in the broadcast, Broner admitted that it might not last long.

“I don’t think I’ll stay sober, gang. I won’t lie.”

The comments summarized the same tensions that have dogged Broner throughout the second half of his career. There is still confidence and faith in another comeback, but also the distractions and unpredictability that have repeatedly hampered its dynamics over the past few years.

Broner has made it clear that he is not thinking about retirement yet. The former champion says his goal remains to win one more world title before he leaves boxing for good.

Zab Judah Sees Only One Winner in Devin Haney vs. Keyshawn Davis Fight: ‘No Disrespect’

Zab Judah sees only one winner in Devin Haney vs Keyshawn Davis fight: “No disrespect”

Rumors of a fight between Devin Haney and Keyshawn Davis have surfaced once again, but if that fight were to happen, two-division world champion Zab Judah admitted he only sees one winner.

After this fight, Davis challenged Haney to fight for Haney’s WBO welterweight world title in January by knocking out Jamaine Ortiz and although the master seemed interested at first, whispers of their potential meeting soon died down.

But after Davis won a unanimous decision in his rematch with Nahir Albright on Saturday, Haney took to social media to renew his interest in facing the Norfolk-born former WBO lightweight champion.

Although talking to MillCity BoxingJudah, who is Haney’s godfather, stated that he does not see Davis beating “The Dream” at welterweight, where the champion’s greater size would make him the favorite.

“I like Keyshawn, Keyshawn is a great fighter. I thought he had a great performance last night, but Keyshawn can’t beat Devin. No way, not now, not at 147 pounds – no way.”

“No disrespect and no looking at Keyshawn, he’s my little man, I rock with him, but based on what we saw last night, I don’t know. [if he can beat Haney]”

“I wouldn’t say it’s an basic job, but I would just say it’s food and we’re going to eat it.”

Haney has been linked to a rematch with Ryan Garcia, who is now scheduled to face Conor Benn instead, making Davis the favorite to make Haney’s first defense since becoming the 147-pound world champion.

“And as far as his skills go, I think he’s just one step away from being perfect. He does everything well,” Keyshawn said. “He doesn’t have anything great in his arsenal. Everything is just fine. That’s good. That’s good. That’s good. Which makes him a good fighter. But he’s just not among the elite of the elite.”

The comments came during an appearance on the “What’s Up That Podcast,” where Davis spent much of the interview discussing Haney, Gervonta Davis, Shakur Stevenson and the effects of losing weight following his canceled fight with Edwin De Los Santos last year.

Keyshawn said he approached Bill Haney earlier this year about making this fight happen, but he believes the other side has gone serene since then.

“You may have seen this video before. Me and Shakur walked up to Bill at the weigh-in for the last fight in January. Long story brief, I thought, ‘Hey, we’re going to fight this year, right?’ He said, ‘Man, mind your own business.’ I said, “I’ll mind my own business.” Will we fight this year? He said, “Just keep your word after the fight.”

Davis then said:

“Why don’t I fight Devin now after the fight? If you want to call it a duck, call it a duck.”

He also asked if Haney has looked the same since his loss to Ryan Garcia.

“Don’t you think he’s the same? The world doesn’t think he’s the same.”

Still, Davis acknowledged that Haney showed toughness by continuing to get up during the Garcia fight.

“I have a lot of respect for him as a player. Fuck, it’s not basic to come back from that.”

The interview moved on to several possible future fights, including fights with Haney, Conor Benn, Tank Davis, and even boxing events with influential people. Keyshawn has repeatedly said he wants the biggest fights available and claimed fans are already demanding a tougher pushback against him.

Errol Spence Jr opens up on whether he considered retirement after Terence Crawford loss

Ahead of his return, Errol Spence Jr spoke more about his extended break from boxing and revealed whether a return to the sport was always a certainty.

Spence maintained his undefeated record at 27 fights, establishing himself as the welterweight standout by defeating Kell Brook to win the IBF world title, before unifying the WBC and WBA titles with wins over Shawn Porter and Yordenis Ugas, respectively.

When his long-awaited fight with Terence Crawford took place in July 2023, he brought three of his four world titles to the table, but would be dominated and stopped by “Bud”.

‘The Truth’ has not fought since then, but his return to fight Australian Tim Tszyu has now been officially announced as the Long Island-born southpaw looks to prove he still has a lot to offer.

Although talking to Main eventSpence revealed that after the devastating loss to Crawford, he considered retiring, but now believes that the inactivity has been good for him.

“I’ve definitely thought about retiring, but I feel rejuvenated. This long break has definitely helped me physically, it’s definitely helped me mentally and I’m ready to show everyone what I’ve done.” I stayed because I’m sure there are many doubters.

“A lot of people will say ‘oh he’ll be a shell’ or ‘he can’t come back’ but they always say that, eye injury, they said the same thing, car accident, they said the same thing, they’ll keep saying the same thing and they’re just adding fuel to the fire.”

Tszyu-Spence will take place on July 25 in Australia.
