Chief among the match-ups is a long-discussed clash with fellow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.co.uk\/boxing\/story\/_\/id\/47067202\/haney-dominates-norman-capture-wbo-welterweight-title\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">three-weight world champion Devin Haney<\/a>, who has also been heavily linked with the promotion in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on The Breakfast Club, \u2018Bud\u2019 Crawford joined fans in calling for Stevenson to face Haney, and said that the latter is in \u201ca great spot\u201d at the moment.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI want to see him and Devin. I think that\u2019s gonna be the fight. Listen, Devin-Keyshawn, Devin-Shakur, Devin-Tank. Devin\u2019s in a great spot right now, he\u2019s got a lot of good options. Devin-Ryan [Garcia], Devin-Conor Benn. All these guys can fight each other. They can round robin.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Stevenson and Haney have been embroiled in a public back and forth for months now, first unable to agree on a weight before Haney appeared to concede to dropping down from welterweight to a 144lbs catchweight. The fight, however, does not seem a done deal just yet, with the latest exchange proving less encouraging.<\/p>\n<p>Stevenson\u2019s deal with Zuffa Boxing and Haney\u2019s reported talks with the promotion remain positive signs for fans hoping to see the fight come together.<\/p>\n<p>                        <!-- Article End --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following in the footsteps of mentor Terence Crawford, Shakur Stevenson has established himself as one of boxing\u2019s most accomplished champions, winning world titles in four divisions and cementing his place among the sport\u2019s elite.
