Bill Haney Says Son's Sparring with Mayweather Was Even

Father of the WBC light welterweight champion (up to 63.5 kg) Devin Haney (31-0, 15 KOs), Bill, reminisced about his son's sparring session with Floyd Mayweather.

"He was supposed to show the sparring video of himself and Devin. It was 6-0, it wasn't even close. Floyd was like looking in a mirror. This was before the fight with Conor McGregor, when he finally decided that he could no longer be in the boxing ring without real fighters. Devin is the one who pushed him. He knew it was time to pass the torch, and he passed it to Devin," said the elder Haney. On April 20th in New York, USA, Devin Haney will enter the ring against Ryan Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs). Throughout his professional career, Floyd Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs) has not lost a single fight. His last fight was against Conor McGregor, winning by unanimous decision. Now, Floyd participates exclusively in exhibition matches. His last one was on June 11th against John Gotti III and ended in a mass brawl when, after the fight was stopped, John and his friends attacked Mayweather's team with punches.
