Devin Haney Opponent Selection Continues For KSI-Paul Card

Devin Haney’s place is secure on the Nov. 9 DAZN card, even as the hunt remains to finalize an opponent for the occasion.
The unbeaten lightweight will enjoy his fourth fight of a breakthrough 2019 campaign, as he will serve in supporting capacity to the rematch between (and respective pro debuts of) YouTube celebrities KSI and Logan Paul. The show takes place at Staples Center, marking the first career appearance in the greater Los Angeles area for Las Vegas’ Haney (23-0, 15KOs), who turns 21 a week after the event.
An official challenger has yet to be named for the bout, although veteran contender Petr Petrov (41-6-2, 22KOs) has been named as a potential leading candidate.

Eddie Hearn, Haney’s co-promoter mentioned Petrov—a Russia-born lightweight who is now based out of Spain—as a possible choice in a recent interview with IFL, noting that a formal announcement is expected within the next week or so.
Haney is coming off a sensational four-round stoppage of previously unbeaten Zaur Abdullaev this past September in New York City. The bout marked his second straight DAZN headliner since signing with Hearn earlier this year, along with picking up the interim version of the World Boxing Council (WBC) lightweight title, with the full version among the three belts in the possession of Vasiliy Lomachenko.
Whether or not the title will be at stake in November could also dictate the level of opponent which will be approved. Petrov is not currently ranked in the WBC Top 15, although that status could change over the course of the sanctioning body’s annual convention which takes place Oct. 20-26 in Cancun, Mexico. It is not uncommon for boxers to suddenly emerge in—or disappear from—the rankings, though often coming upon review of a formal request made by said athlete’s representatives.
Should the assignment go to Petrov, it will serve as poetic justice in being denied a previous opportunity to appear on DAZN. The 36-year old former title challenger was ready to jump in on less than one day’s notice to face Ryan Garcia, who was left without an opponent for a planned Sept. 14 fight in Carson, California following the same-day apprehension and arrest of originally scheduled Avery Sparrow. Garcia dropped off the card altogether, leaving Petrov to stick with previous plans—a showcase fight on a Sept. 20 card in Ontario, California, where he emerged victorious to extend his current three-fight win streak. The run follows back-to-back losses to then-unbeaten foes Terry Flanagan—for a lightweight title—and Ivan Baranchyk prior to the latter’s super lightweight title reign.
Regardless of opponent selection, the placement will help Haney mark time while awaiting a mandatory crack at Lomachenko while hoping to raise his profile among a new demographic.
Another significant undercard has previously been announced, as unbeaten two-division and reigning super middleweight titlist Billy Joe Saunders (28-0, 13KOs) faces Argentina’s Marcelo Coceres (28-0-1, 15KOs), who moves up from middleweight for his first career title fight. Both boxers will make their respective debuts in the United States in the contest, which will mark Saunders’ first defense of the 168-pound title he claimed in a 12-round win over Shefat Isufi this past May in Stevenage, England.

Logan Paul Says Boxers Want To "Beat The Sh*t" Out Him
By Manouk Akopyan

Logan Paul is a newbie in the boxing world, and he knows he has to earn his stripes.
The YouTuber will have main event honors in his pro debut at Staples Center when he takes on KSI on Nov. 9 in Los Angeles, superseding the likes of can’t-miss prospect Devin Haney and undefeated WBO super middleweight Billy Joe Saunders.
Paul told the assembled media in Los Angeles that he’s had mixed reactions in his new vocation from people who make a living in boxing that he personally encounters.
“There is a lot of feelings and emotions in boxing,” said Paul. “You can imagine when I, the YouTube kid, walk into a gym, everyone wants to beat the sh*t out of me. You get the occasional guy who’s down to cooperate and work. I also think I’m at the point where I can hold my own against anyone. We’re now commanding the respect we deserve.”
Paul, however, quickly countered that he’s been getting support from those who’ve put their entire lives into the sport.
“I haven’t seen one professional fighter talk sh*t about this. Everyone is excited to merge worlds with boxing and internet content,” said Paul. “Belts don’t mean sh*t for me. I’m fighting for me.
“The respect you command when you box, and win, is so much different than becoming a YouTuber. When you’re a boxer, when you’re a fighter, someone who quite literally puts his life on the line every time he enters that ring, when you walk into a room, people look at you different. You have an energy about you, and people feel it, and I like that.”
Paul plans on fighting further after his professional foray mostly because he has an audience of a combined 56.9 million across Youtube, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter who’s willing to pay and watch him perform. His amatuer fight against KSI in 2018, a majority draw, garnered 1.2 million pay per view buys at $10 each and filled England’s Manchester Arena with 15,000 supporters.
Paul once filmed a dead body in Japan and published the video on YouTube. He received backlash for his insensitive behavior, and he believes it’s part of the reason why people find him to be polarizing.
“This is a shot at redemption. This is a second chance,” said Paul. “The Tokyo thing happened. This sh*t is toxic. It’s not real life. Especially creating every day, you lose track of who you are. I’m a different kid from two years ago. I don’t even know that kid. I hate that kid … I’m not in the business of trying to convince people to like me. Keep your eyes on me now, and see the difference. I’m a changed man.”
Paul hopes that boxing will play a part in his makeover.
“It makes me feel good, but I don’t need approval from anyone,” he said. “I’ve passed that point in my life where I need validation from other people. I don’t care who you are. This event is going to do good.”

Briggs could have at least got the focus mitts out....I don't want to see bare hands as mitts in 2019.
Using bare hands as mitts just solidifies the amateur nature of this event lol.
They have a huge YouTube following
