Teofimo Lopez Denies Negotiations for Fight Against Haney

WBO junior welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez has responded to reports about negotiations for a fight against WBC champion Devin Haney.

"Where are all these rumors coming from? These things just popped out of a hat. I haven't received any contract. They said we agreed. Who even said that? Sorry, guys, but this is all lies for further messaging," Lopez stated.

Earlier, there were reports that Haney was planning his return to the ring in a bout against Teofimo.
