What to Know
- Devin Haney Promotions has a new multi-fight agreement with DAZN Boxing, which will bring its headliner to the platform for future events.
- Haney, age 27, is a three-division world champion with an impressive resume.
- Earlier in the week, DAZN Boxing also signed world champions Josh Kelly of England and Jaron “Boots” Ennis, setting up a potential unification fight between the super welterweights.
DAZN officially announced on Friday it had signed an exclusive multi-fight agreement with Devin Haney Promotions, bringing three-division world champion Devin “The Dream” Haney to the platform for a series of major global events.
Haney of Las Vegas (33-0, 15 KOs), age 27, has developed one of boxing’s strongest championship resumes.
The undefeated three-division world champion has captured titles at lightweight, junior welterweight, and welterweight. He became the undisputed lightweight champion, then added titles in two additional divisions.
Widely regarded as one of boxing’s elite technicians, Haney has established himself as one of the sport’s premier pound-for-pound fighters and a leading figure in the next generation of global stars.
Devin Haney: “Focused, Motivated, Ready”
“I’m at a point in my career where I want the biggest challenges and the fights the fans want to see,” said Haney in a statement. “I’m excited to partner with DAZN. This agreement removes any doubt or uncertainty about my ability to make the major fights in boxing.
“I’m in position to fight anyone, and I’m focused, motivated, and ready for whoever is next.”
“Devin has proven that he belongs on boxing’s biggest stages,” said Britton Hardin, Head of Boxing, North America at DAZN. “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.”
Haney has struggled to secure a championship fight against a top level opponent. Keyshawn Davis turned down the opportunity to face Haney, claiming he was not offered a sufficient purse.
Then, a tantalizing matchup between Haney and Shakur Stevenson went nowhere over clashes involving weight limits and rehydration clauses. The truth about this one is that the two men are comfortable fighting in different divisions. This fight will come together when they are both on an even playing field in the years to come.
Devin Haney Promotions (DHP) is a global boxing promotion founded by undefeated three-division world champion Devin Haney. Built on Haney’s championship legacy and global influence, DHP delivers world-class events and the biggest fights in boxing.
Leveraging Haney’s credibility inside the ring and influence beyond it, DHP creates premium experiences, forges strategic partnerships and expands the sport’s reach to new audiences. Driven by innovation and a championship mindset, DHP is helping shape the future of boxing on the global stage.
“Building Devin Haney Promotions into a global championship brand has been a long-term vision of ours, and this partnership marks an important milestone in that journey,” said Bill Haney, Devin Haney’s father, trainer, and his manager.
“We developed Devin from the ground up into an undisputed champion, a three-division world champion and one of boxing’s elite global attractions. Now, alongside DAZN, we can apply that same blueprint to growing the DHP roster, developing future champions and delivering elite events on the global stage.”
Haney Joins Signings by Kelly and Ennis
The agreement follows two recent signings of world champions, adding to DAZN’s roster.
First, IBF World Super Welterweight champion Josh Kelly of Sunderland, England (19-1-1, 9 KOs) signed a multi-fight extension with Matchroom Boxing, whose fighters appear exclusively on DAZN.
Kelly won the IBF world title by defeating Bakhram Murtazaliev in January 2026 and defended it against Caoimhín Agyarko in July 2026.
Last week, Matchroom Boxing announced it had also signed unified super welterweight champion Jaron “Boots” Ennis of Philadelphia (36-0, 32 KOs) to a rare seven-fight extension.
Since joining the Matchroom stable in April 2024, Ennis has become a unified welterweight world champion. In June, Ennis became a two-division world champion after beating WBA and WBO titleholder Xander Zayas.
Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn hasn’t hidden his intentions. He is lining up a major three-belt junior middleweight unification clash between Kelly and Ennis, targeted for late January or February 2027. It’s going to be a busy spring for Matchroom.
