The WBO welterweight beltholder, who also has been world champion in two other weight classes, has signed an exclusive multi-fight deal with DAZN through Devin Haney Promotions.

The Ring’s No. 8 pound-for-pound is excited about the partnership and the doors this could open.

“I’m at a point in my career where I want the biggest challenges and the fights the fans want to see,” Haney said in a statement. “I’m excited to partner with DAZN. This agreement removes any doubt or uncertainty about my ability to make major fights in boxing. I’m in position to fight anyone, and I’m focused, motivated, and ready for whoever is next.”

While Haney is focused on fighting the best, he’ll also look to get more active. The 27-year-old hasn’t fought since scoring a clear unanimous decision over Brian Norman in November to win the WBO title at 147 pounds. The Ring’s No. 1 welterweight failed to secure a fight against Shakur Stevenson, but he pivoted to IBF titles Liam Paro as reported by The Ring's Mike Coppinger on Thursday. The unification bout is expected to take place before the end of the year at a venue to be determined and featured on DAZN.

Stevenson, The Ring and WBO junior welterweight champion, was unable to come to terms with Haney (33-0, 15 KOs) due to their difference in weight. Stevenson wanted Haney to adhere to a 10-pound next-day rehydration clause. Haney refused, leading to the fallout.

Paro, from Australia, defeated Lewis Crocker on points on June 24 to become a two-division champion.

Britton Hardin, head of Boxing North America at DAZN, is equally excited to have Haney on board.

"Devin has proven that he belongs on boxing's biggest stages," Hardin said in a statement. "He is an elite champion, a proven headliner and one of the most influential figures shaping the future of the sport. This partnership creates the opportunity to deliver the marquee matchups fans want while bringing the next defining phase of Devin's career to DAZN's global audience."
