New welterweight champion says 'it does not matter' who he fights next

Haney fought Brian Norman Jr. on the superb Ring IV: Night of Champions card in Riyadh live on DAZN PPV and looked very good as he boxed his way to a unanimous decision victory.

The American is now a three-weight world champion and he said it doesn’t matter to him who he fights next.

With WBC champion Mario Barrios set to face Ryan Garcia, Haney could target fellow belt holders Lewis Crocker (IBF) and Rolando Romero (WBA), while Britain’s Conor Benn is a big-name option following his rematch victory over Chris Eubank Jr.

Speaking at the post-fight press conference, Haney said: “I will fight anybody, I don’t care.

“I really don’t care, it doesn’t matter to me. I will fight whoever it is – whoever you put in front of me, it does not matter.

“Whoever you all say is the guy – it does not matter.

“The type of fighter that I am – I don’t care.”
