Indeed, a showdown with fellow American prospect Devin Haney is something boxing fans clearly want to see in the new year.

Whether or not it happens next year remains to be seen.

One suspects it could be a little early for the fight just yet as both young men’s careers continue to be built.

But, what a fight it could be for down the line when they do eventually meet.

Here’s a clip of when the two young fighters met about six months back and went blow for blow on the punching machine:
