Haney (se muestra a continuación) is a 7-time national amateur champion, who captured a gold medal at the 2015 Campeón mundial de la juventud, but he was unable to try-out for the 2016 U.S. Olympic Boxing Team because of his age. When headgear was eliminated from Olympic boxing competition, the minimum age for a U.S. boxer to compete in the Olympics was changed to 19, so Haney decided to turn pro at the age of 17 rather than wait four more years.
