Inside Boxing | Haney and Shakur agree to catchweight, Bam vs. Vargas preview, UFC White House picks

from The Ariel Helwani Show · host Ariel Helwani

Dan Canobbio and Chris Algieri open the show breaking down the latest twitter exchange between Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney, where they agreed to fight at 144 pounds. Will this even happen? How big would this fight be? Should Haney fight Keyshawn Davis (04:31)? There is a big combat event this weekend on the White House lawn, as UFC Freedom 250 is set to take place. Dan and Chris give their picks (12:47). Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez makes his 118-pound debut this weekend against heavy underdog Antonio Vargas. If "Bam" wins this weekend, should he go right into a Naoya Inoue fight or get more accustomed to the new weight class (25:29)? Finally, reports potentially placed the megafight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury at SoFi Stadium in California. Eddie Hearn refuted that, stating the contract stipulates it must be in the UK. Speaking of Eddie, will he be the official promoter of the event or Dana White (34:19)?
