A 144-pound compromise once looked realistic after both camps publicly discussed it. That changed when Shakur encouraged Devin to defend his WBO welterweight title against his friend, Keyshawn Davis, or give up the belt. From the Haney camp’s perspective, there is little reason to offer another weight concession after that.
“I would never agree to that, and I suggest Deebo never go under 147 for nobody,” Bill Haney said on X.
He later explained why.
“You right Shakur told us to fight Keyshawn at 147 after Deebo agreed to fight him at 144. I advise Deebo should make everyone fight him at 147.”
