It’s an unlikely alliance, but it could be true. If an Instagram story is to be believed, the old rivals are joining forces. Devin Haney has left the ship and is now training under Gervonta Davis‘ Assistant Coach Kenny EllisHowever, fans did not take this development lightly and discussed it heatedly.

Haney, 25, spends some time outside the boxing ring after taking a beating from Ryan Garcia. Although he still has a flawless record, he may still be lacking confidence, so it looks like the WBC champion has turned to a new trainer and could already be making progress.

Devin Haney forges an unusual alliance

Ellis took to his Instagram account and gave an update that revealed he was training “The Dream.” The Baltimore native also pointed out that Haney, who is 31-0, was progressing and getting stronger under him. He wrote in the caption: “I train Devin and he is getting stronger every day.”

But fans should not forget that Ellis has earned a reputation for pranking and mocking Tank’s rivals and opponents, as he did with Shakur Stevenson recently. The American trainer had asked fans to buy tickets for Stevenson’s fight with Joe Cordinawhich was nothing more than a dig at the WBC lightweight champion. So fans are divided on how to judge this scenario.

Fans are divided over the idea of ​​The Dream working with Kenny Ellis

One fan argued that this represents a conflict of interest for Ellis, as both Haney and Davis have an intense rivalry and have been at each other’s throats. They argued, “But certainly a conflict of interest.” However, since both are now active in different divisions, this had no impact on their prospects of a fight.

One user suggested that Ellis might be trolling due to his previous antics. They denied “No idea if that’s true, Kenny trolls a lot 😂.” Interestingly, the boxer turned trainer also performed similar pranks on Wassyl Lomachenko when the Ukrainian boxer was in talks about a fight against Davis.

Someone suggested that this could lead to Haney and Davis never sharing a ring, as they are still fueling rumors of a fight between them. They claimed, “This means Devin and Tank will never fight each other.” In contrast, Davis, at 30-0, has repeatedly stressed his intention to fight at 135 and not climb to 140.

One comment referred to Haney’s fight with Garcia, in which “KingRy” caught him several times. The comment read: “Teach them how to dodge their opponent’s strong hand/best punch 😂😂😂.” In their thrilling fight, 26-year-old Garcia exploited the gaps in Haney’s defense and knocked him down three times.

Finally, a fan claimed that Haney and Davis would not fight each other and that Haney might have to make some drastic changes after his last training camp. They said: “If they’re not going to fight anyway, I say let’s rock it because Dev desperately needs a new camp and why not.” Ellis can fix some of the issues Haney had in his last fight and make him a more versatile boxer.
