Gervonta Davis' comeback has been ruled out for the rest of the year, dealing a blow to Devin Haney's plans for an autumn showdown. Haney's team had been in talks with Davis' camp, but PBC's Al Haymon informed Haney's father and manager, Bill, that Davis won't be able to compete until the first quarter of 2027. This news leaves Haney with a WBO mandatory defence against Keyshawn Davis as the most likely next move. Haney's father claims negotiations with Shakur Stevenson have stalled, with Stevenson yet to respond to a 144lb agreement. Gervonta Davis' legal issues continue to cast a shadow over his future, with a civil lawsuit alleging domestic abuse and a warrant for his arrest due to a hit-and-run incident in 2020. The WBA has downgraded Davis to 'champion in recess', with Floyd Schofield set to face Lucas Bahdi for the vacant title. This situation highlights the challenges faced by boxers in navigating legal troubles and the potential impact on their careers. The boxing world awaits further developments, with Haney's next steps and Davis' future remaining uncertain.
