Gervonta Davis leaked a direct message from promoter Eddie Hearn before calling out Bill Haney and Devin Haney on Friday night.
Boxing fans are desperate to see lightweight contender Davis vs former undisputed champion Devin Haney.
The rivalry between the two fighters has ramped up following Haney’s victory over Regis Prograis last weekend, which sealed the WBC lightweight crown.
However, Davis took issue with Haney rehydrating to 165lbs to win a 140lbs title on the day of the fight.
It is understood Haney’s refusal to entertain a catchweight and rehydration clause for a fight with Davis is causing problems.
On Friday, Davis released a screenshot of a direct message from promoter Hearn on social media, which read: “Let’s talk!”
The American boxer simply replied: “No.”
‘Tank’ then went live on Instagram to explain his actions, calling out Haney and his father Bill in the process.
Davis said: “If they wanna make the fight happen, tell them they know who to call. They’re broke. I’m supposed to get on the phone with Al [Haymon] tonight to talk to him about what these n***** are talking about.
“You see, Eddie [Hearn] has been in my DMs. No, I want your boss. If they want to make the fight happen, they know who to call, and I’m by the phone. All of them.”
Bill Haney then went live on Instagram to give his own version of events, claiming Davis rejected a guaranteed $20million to fight his son.
“I’m talking to you, the ex-face of boxing. This is the Devin Haney era,” said Bill Haney on Instagram.
““Bro, you turned down $20m guaranteed. $20m, bro. Are you serious, bro?”
