Former two-weight world champion Devin Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) has announced his imminent return to the ring.
"Boxing isn't the same anymore. It's time to come back. I'm giving you all 3 months," the boxer wrote on his social media page on X.
The head of the General Entertainment Authority of Saudi Arabia, Turki Al-Sheikh, quickly responded to him.
"Get the job done, champ. We’re waiting for you in Riyadh," Turki Al-Sheikh replied.
Haney lost to Ryan Garcia in April. The fight became controversial due to Ryan's positive doping test. Garcia has been officially suspended for a year for using banned substances before the fight against Haney.
Earlier, WBO bantamweight champion Teofimo Lopez (19-1, 13 KOs) turned tough on Devin.
