Overview
- Devin Haney used an appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show to dismiss Conor Benn’s résumé and label him “Eddie’s little puppet.”
- Conor Benn responded on X with insults and a public challenge for Haney to confront him without security present.
- Haney is newly crowned WBO welterweight champion after stopping Brian Norman Jr. in Riyadh on Nov. 22.
- Tensions with promoter Eddie Hearn and Matchroom linger, with recent reports of a declined bid and a viral ringside dispute adding strain.
- No bout is scheduled for Haney, as talk of a Benn fight or a Ryan Garcia rematch remains speculative despite fresh callouts.
