Devin Haney posted on social media that solely Turki Alalashikh could make a struggle between him and Jack Catterall occur.
The previous two-division world champion Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) is clearly hoping to get a large payday for the struggle in opposition to the extremely ranked gentle welterweight contender Catterall (30-1, 13 KOs), who’s coming off of a twelve-round unanimous choice win over Regis Prograis final Saturday night time in Manchester, England.
It’s not the best time for Turki to make use of Haney for one among his Riyadh Season occasions, provided that he’s coming off a loss to Ryan Garcia. Paying Haney thousands and thousands to struggle a fighter with a boring type like Catterall can be a cup of poison for followers. Haney is probably going considering that he could make a bundle combating Catterall.
It’s unclear whether or not Turki can be concerned with a struggle between the lately overwhelmed finesse fighter Haney and Catterall as a result of they mirrored pictures of one another with their extremely cell, fleet-footed kinds. If I have been Turki, I might solely supply Haney fighters with thrilling kinds that the followers worldwide would need to pay to see.
A struggle between these two wouldn’t appeal to as a lot curiosity in Turki’s Riyadh Season occasions as different potential matchups. It might be extra attention-grabbing to see Haney struggle Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis at 147 or Brian Norman Jr than Catterall along with his painfully boring Shakur Stevenson combating type.
Utilizing Catterall as an opponent for Haney can be a waste of Turki’s cash as a result of there are fighters that U.S. followers would like he struggle. Catterall is just not one among them. Regardless of his win over the made-to-order Regis Prograis final Saturday night time, he’s nonetheless seen as British-level.
Haney is extra entertaining to observe than Catterall. On a 1-10 leisure scale with being the bottom, Catterall is a 1 and Haney is 5.
Just one particular person may make the struggle with @jack_catt93 & that’s @Turki_alalshikh 😅
