Devin Haney enjoyed a stellar 2023 inside the ring but the New Year could've been a disastrous one for the current 140lbs world champion.
Following an incident on holiday. Haney, who beat Regis Prograis last month, was feeding a bear when taking a break from boxing before the animal began to bite on Haney’s right knee.
Guards at the facility quickly intervened to prevent any serious injury, but Haney will be fully aware he’s had a lucky escape.
The California fighter’s next move is still unknown, but it’s highly unlikely he’ll fear any boxer around his weight class following his altercation with the bear.
Haney has been linked to a number of contests with Teofimo Lopez, Gervonta Davis, and Ryan Garcia all possible opponents for him in 2024.
