“Devin, I’m waiting…”

The post was quickly met with backlash from Catterall, who proposed his own solution for the welterweight division.

“More than that, mystery shit, how about everyone just fight each other. You were pissed when you boxed Realdevinhaney, so get a rematch with him ✅ Crocker is fighting Paro for the IBF, and if @SignUp4KOs goes crazy and fights me, we can all start to unify.”

Catterall’s comments referenced Garcia’s no-contest fight with Haney in April 2024. Garcia dropped Haney three times and won by majority decision before the result was later overturned after he tested positive for a banned substance.

The British southpaw also pointed to the upcoming IBF welterweight title fight between Lewis Crocker and Liam Paro as an example of top contenders actually meeting in the ring rather than discussing potential matchups online.

Catterall then turned his attention to WBA champion Rolando Romero, calling for a unification fight that would bring the division closer to crowning a single champion.

Welterweight remains one of boxing’s most energetic divisions. Haney is expected to face a mandatory title fight against Keyshawn Davis, Crocker and Paro will fight for the IBF belt, and Garcia will still have another major fight following his victory over Rolly Romero earlier this year.

To Catterall, the solution seems elementary: stop sending cryptic messages and start picking fights.

“Maybe I’m starting to buy into the idea that Zayas might have a better chance than most people are giving him,” Chris Mannix said on DAZN’s Beyond The Bell.

Mannix also revealed that confidence in Zayas’ camp is growing as the fight gets closer.

“When I talk to people in his camp, they say he’s having the best camp he’s ever had, that he’s as motivated as ever. He hears all the doubters. He sees all the activity on social media,” Chris said.

Former world champion Sergio Mora agreed that Zayas brings a unique challenge to the fight, pointing to his size advantage over Ennis.

“He’s naturally a bigger fighter. He’s going to pressure Boots. We saw Boots get hit,” Mora said. “Can he take hits from a bigger fighter like Xander Zayas, who is just confident?”

Zayas enters the fight as a junior middleweight with a long career, while Ennis is preparing for just his second appearance at 154 pounds after moving up from welterweight earlier this year. Although Ennis remains the bookmakers’ favorite, this fight has become one of the most anticipated fights of this summer.

The winner will leave Brooklyn with Ennis’ unified WBA and WBC junior middleweight titles and take an vital step towards becoming a top attraction in the division.
