Bill Haney did not give up emphasis on the fight of Teofimo Lopez about Devin Haney, even though Teo said he was “released” by Turki Alalshikh. Bill still mentions the name Teofiimo in social media, saying that he “evades”.

Bill Haney still wants Teofimo

There was talk of a fight between Haney and Teofimo scheduled for August 16 in Riyadh. This no longer seems profitable after Lopez burned his alalshikh bridges. Bill is like a dog that will not let the aged bone. Regardless of the ambition, Devin once had to win world titles, it seems that she disappeared after Ryan Garcia and felt the taste of millions.

Restricted vast Haney options

Devin has restricted options for vast payments without Ryan Garcia or Teofimo. In addition to Teo, there are no popular fighters at 140. Only Master Jaron Ennis and Conor Benn in the welterweight. Ennis will not fight the needy warrior, such as Haney, because he has no belt and leaves a catastrophic performance.

Potential options

– Jaron Ennis
– Teofimo Lopez
– Ryan Garcia
– Shakur Stevenson

Lopez’s fight is currently the largest producer of money for Devin, after canceling the rematch with Ryan Garcia after losing to Rolando “Rolly” Romero on May 2.

“Teofimo Lopez will still organize” Bill Haney said on X. Devin Haney, who works, said Bill Haney X.

Devin Haney: Now a businessman?

Bill showed no interest in aiming any of the other 140 pounds, such as Gary Antuanne Russell or Richardson Hitchins. What some people say about Devin can be true. He moved from being a warrior to being businessman Who at this moment focuses on money. It sometimes happens when warriors have a taste of money. They focus on doing nothing but vast withdrawal fights and rejecting anything else. Waiting for these great payments to fall on the lap, often requires a year or longer.

Fans want Bill and Devin to forget about Teofimo for now. They want Haney (32-0, 15 KO) to be proven against one of the best warriors in 140 or 147. However, Bill and his son have lost interest in risky fights since their loss with Ryan in April.

They sat from the ring all year round all year until they returned against the faded Jose Ramirez on May 2. It was a terrible performance of Haney, running through 12 rounds, throwing only a handful of blows in probably the most lifeless performance on the Times Square card.

If Haney was still interested in competing with the best and winning lanes, he would have a lot of options for the next fight. There are many contenders from 140 to 154 that Devin could fight and earn good money. He probably doesn’t intend to do it because his focus has changed.

Atif Oberlton Promises Exciting Future Ahead of Deon Nicholson Match

Atif Oberlton Promises Exciting Future Ahead of Deon Nicholson Match

Undefeated American light heavyweight Atif Oberlton believes there is plenty more to come after rating his last performance seven out of ten as he prepares to face knockout puncher Deon Nicholson on November 7.

Oberlton improved to 17-0 with a shutout decision over Roamer Alexis Angulo in August, but believes he has another level to reach despite winning every round.

Speaking exclusively to World Boxing News, the Philadelphia southpaw reflected on his victory over Angulo and becoming the first fighter to stop Carlos Gongora earlier this year.

“They said Carlos Gongora was going to be a very tough opponent, and he was one of my toughest challenges thus far. He’d never been stopped, and I was able to get the stoppage pretty early on because I locked in and trained the way I needed to.

“Looking back, I’d rate my performance against Angulo maybe a 7 out of 10—I could have definitely done better. But this camp is different mentally. We had a lot of factors going on last time, but I’m entirely focused now,” he told WBN.

The assessment comes as promoter Dmitriy Salita looks to establish Oberlton as America’s leading light heavyweight.

Oberlton Faces Nicholson

Nicholson enters their November 7 contest in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with 19 knockouts from 23 victories and a reputation for dangerous punching power.

The Alabama fighter was previously linked to a showdown with former undisputed champion Artur Beterbiev, making him another significant test for Oberlton.

“Nicholson is a good opponent—a good dance partner. We’re getting closer to the level of opponents that allow for a standout performance because the challenge keeps stepping up. I definitely don’t take him lightly. I respect everyone who gets in the ring and stands in front of me, but I’m going to go out there and do what I trained to do.”

The ten-round bout at Kiva Auditorium will be Oberlton’s fourth appearance of 2026, with Salita Promotions delivering on its promise to keep the unbeaten contender active.

Salita Promotions Keeps Promise

Oberlton says his relationship with Salita has allowed him to build momentum while continuing to work toward a world title opportunity.

“Salita Promotions told me they were going to keep me busy when I signed, and they’ve kept their end of the bargain. I’m keeping mine by going out there, performing, and winning—whether by early stoppage or decision.

“As long as they keep putting people in front of me, I’m going to keep fighting. Every time I step in the ring, I want to perform better than the last time, climb the ladder, and take some hardware home. I’m ready to take some candy.”

Oberlton has already stopped Joseph George and Gongora in 2026 before proving he could dominate over ten rounds against Angulo.

With 14 knockouts in 17 victories, Oberlton has shown he can finish opponents early and control fights over the distance.

Now, with another training camp behind him and a fourth fight of the year approaching, Oberlton believes his best performances are still ahead of him.

Tony Bellews Bold KO Prediction for Dubois vs Wardley 2: Yep, I Said It

Tony Bellew's Bold KO Prediction for Dubois vs Wardley 2: "Yep, I Said It"

Tony Bellew is going against the grain for tonight’s Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley rematch.

The pair meet again just five months on from their thrilling first encounter, with Dubois now WBO champion having won the belt from Wardley via eleventh round stoppage.

After surviving two early knockdowns, the Londoner – who is now in his second stint as heavyweight titlist – took over the contest with a solid jab setting up thudding attacks that exhausted Wardley.

Though the Ipswich man stayed on his feet throughout, referee Howard Foster waved it off as the punishment because too much.

It is how the fight ended, and those last few rounds in which Dubois was largely dominating, that make him a strong favourite to retain his belt.

Giving his prediction to the BBCformer cruiserweight world champion Bellew backed Wardley to have success early again, but capitalise fully this time and end it.

“I’m going to be the difference. I am going to back Fabio Wardley by knockout within six rounds. Yep, I said [it]. I’m going for Fab within six.”

Dubois was on the canvas within ten seconds last time out, and took a knee in the third when hurt again.

Bellew has questioned Dubois’ resolve in the past, pointing to his stoppage loss to Joe Joyce as proof that there is a point he can be pushed to that he is not willing to go beyond. Many, however, will look to the first Wardley performance and disagree.

Both men recorded the highest weights of their careers on the scalessuggesting that neither will be changing the gameplan to a more measured affair, rather looking to engage in round 13 from the off tonight at London’s O2.
