ESPN is looking into a new opponent. If necessary, Mexican Isaac Cruz is the frontrunner.

Promoter Hearn said that WBC lightweight champion Haney, who is still in discussions to fight JoJoDiaz, is also available to replace Romero.

He stated that he had spoken to Devin Haney before and he said, "Are you happy to have my name added to the mix?"

"He said yes, because 'No-go Diaz has not signed his contract at the moment after being offered more fight Devin Haney than what he was getting fight Ryan Garcia.

"We'll just have to wait and see what happens. But we want to make JoJo Diaz fight. He needs to sign the contract quickly.

Diaz, 28 years old, was scheduled to face Garcia, 23 years later, but Garcia pulled out with injuries.

Although he has verbally accepted to face Haney instead, he has not signed the agreement.

Davis, 26 years old, was scheduled to fight Romero (also 26,) on December 5, in Los Angeles.

However, several women have come forward to accuse Romero de sexual assault.

ESPN was informed by a spokesperson for Henderson's Police Department that they had received a report Friday involving the boxer.

A spokesperson for the company stated that an investigation is ongoing into the incident.

FightHype spoke with Stephen Espinoza, Showtime's executive: "Obviously these are disturbing allegations. Very concerning."

"At the moment we are still monitoring the situation and trying to discover all the facts.

"And until it feels like we have a solid grasp, we're not going to comment further. But, it's something we're very serious about."
