Haney-Lopez Fight Off After Contract Breakdown

News summary

Negotiations for the Devin Haney vs. Teofimo Lopez fight, originally expected for August 16, 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, have collapsed after Lopez declined to finalize the contract. Both fighters had recently won on the same May 2 card, and the 145-pound catchweight bout was anticipated to be streamed on DAZN PPV. The breakdown reportedly stemmed from disagreements over financial terms and contractual commitments, leading Lopez to back out despite earlier indications of agreement. Haney expressed disappointment and blamed Lopez for the fight's collapse, while observers noted criticism of both fighters' recent performances. Haney is now seeking a new high-profile opponent as options in his division narrow. The failed negotiations highlight the continued difficulty in arranging major boxing matches, even after apparent agreements.
