Talks for a November 28 fight with Devin Haney rcollapsed over weight and rehydration terms, and discussions with WBA junior welterweight champion Gary Antuanne Russell went nowhere. Stevenson plans to pursue fights at lightweight and junior welterweight, and is interested in eventually moving to 147, but only on his own terms.
