His parents Bill Haney and Reney Haney welcomed him on the 17th of November 1998 in San Francisco, California. While growing up, he lived in Oakland, California, but moved with his family to Las Vegas, Nevada.
The 27 year-old had a knack for the ring while he was tender. By the time he was 7, Haney started boxing. It was his father that took him to a gym after getting into trouble in school. He revealed in an interview how his father told him to he would fight someone who knows how to fight since he likes fighting. So, for any time he fights at school, his father said he would bring him back to the gym.
When he was 16, Haney made his way to the pro ranks, but he wasn’t allowed to fight in the US because of his age, considered to be too young. Therefore, he traveled to Mexico and spent months fighting unknown Mexicans in Tijuana.
His desire was to represent his country at the Olympics, but the minimum age requirement was changed to 19 in 2013. So, by the time the 2015 Rio Olympics was held, he was 17.

The Las Vegas-based boxer raked up a pretty decent amount of money from his boxing career and endorsement deals. As mentioned earlier, Haney’s net worth is $6 million.
