British promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed what's next planned for WBC super lightweight champion Devin Haney:
- Will Devin have to fight Sandor Martin?
- Yes, it's a mandatory defense. With all due respect to Sandor, this fight will not be the fight of the month. At some point, Haney may have to move up to welterweight," Hearn said.
Devin Haney was tentatively scheduled to face Ryan Garcia. However, the fight was canceled due to Ryan's desire to meet with Rolando Romero, the WBA champion of the same category.
