Desert Drama: Davis and Haney to Light Up Saudi Stage?

Turki Al-Sheikh, the leading man at Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority, is setting the stage for a blockbuster bout between WBA lightweight champ Gervonta Davis and WBC super lightweight titleholder Devin Haney:

"I'm calling on Davis to huddle up with Al Haymon. Let's make this showdown happen. I'm setting my sights on hosting Haney right here on my turf. Eyeing a 2024 fight," Al-Sheikh threw down the gauntlet.

Gervonta's cornerman, Leonardo Ellerby, laid it out clearly:

"If Tank's game for a Saudi scrap, he's calling the shots on his turf."

Devin Haney didn't hold back, firing a jab with a cryptic quip:

"Gervonta can't leave the house..." hinting at Davis's recent stint in the clink for a house arrest foul-up.
