WBA-ийн аварга Флойд Шофилд 145 фунтын жинд болох магадлалтай энэхүү тулаанд Девин Хэйниг ялалт байгуулна хэмээн таамаглав.
WBO-ийн хагас дунд жингийн аварга Девин Хэйни болон WBO-ийн супер хөнгөн жингийн аварга Шакур Стивенсон нар 145 фунтын жинд тулалдахаар тохиролцсон нь боксын ертөнцийн анхаарлыг татаж байна. Хэрэв уг тулаан албан ёсоор баталгаажвал Хэйнигийн аваргын бүс тоглолтонд тавигдах бөгөөд тамирчдын гэрээнд жин нөхөх заалт оруулахгүй байхаар төлөвлөж байгаа аж. Стивенсоны хувьд өмнөх хэлэлцээний үеэр энэ асуудлыг чухалчилж байсан юм.
Өнгөрсөн долоо хоногт Лукас Бахдиг ялж, WBA-ийн 135 фунтын жингийн аваргын бүсийг хүртсэн Флойд Шофилд уг тулааны талаар байр сууриа илэрхийлэв. Тэрээр хоёр боксчны техникийн ур чадварыг өндрөөр үнэлж байгаа ч Хэйнигийн бие бялдар, гарын урт болон рингэн дээрх туршлага нь түүнийг ялалтад хүргэх гол хүчин зүйл болно гэж үзжээ.
“We would have to wait and see on fight night. I think that there is different things that both of them do good, I feel like it would just be a real technical fight.
“I think that I would favour Devin because, even though he is not a crazy power-puncher, we have seen how he was able to put Brian Norman Jr. on the floor – that is something we haven’t seen before.
“The reach, the size, the boxing skill [makes me favour Devin].”
Талууд 2026 оны арваннэгдүгээр сарын 28-нд Атланта хотод тулалдах зорилт тавин ажиллаж байна. Энэ нь тухайн оны боксын хамгийн том үйл явдлуудын нэг болох төлөвтэй байна.

Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson are locked in negotiations ahead of a potential showdown in November, and newly-crowned WBA lightweight champion Floyd Schofield has cast his verdict on how the fight may play out.
Last week, WBO welterweight world champion Haney and WBO super-lightweight titleholder Stevenson publicly agreed to a 145lb catchweight affair that has got the juices of fight fans well and truly flowing.
It is understood that, should it happen, Haney’s world title would be up for grabs and that no rehydration clause would be included in the fight contract – something which Stevenson had been keen for when they were last in talks for a clash.
Speaking with Sean Zittel, Schofield – who defeated Lucas Bahdi to get his hands on the WBA 135lb world title on Saturday – admitted that he is favouring Haney to come out on top.
“We would have to wait and see on fight night. I think that there is different things that both of them do good, I feel like it would just be a real technical fight.
“I think that I would favour Devin because, even though he is not a crazy power-puncher, we have seen how he was able to put Brian Norman Jr. on the floor – that is something we haven’t seen before.
“The reach, the size, the boxing skill [makes me favour Devin].”
It is believed that the target fight date for Haney-Stevenson is Saturday, November 28, in Atlanta, for what could be one of the biggest boxing events of the 2026 calendar.
