“I will show and prove that Lomachenko is not some boxing professor,” promises Devin Haney (29-0, 15 KOs), the undisputed lightweight champion, who in a fight with Vasily Lomachenko (17-2, 11 KOs) will stake all four belts in the weight category up to 61.2 kilograms.
Both sides are clarifying the details of the meeting. The American wants to fight before Ramadan, which will last from March 22 to April 21. Bill Haney, father, trainer and manager of the champion, discussed the details shortly before Christmas with Bob Arum, who is currently promoting both boxers, Lomachenko since the beginning of his professional career.
“When we met, it turned out that Lomachenko is much smaller than I thought. Many people say that lightweight is not his real category, but he has been boxing at this weight for a long time, so I do not understand these arguments. Some admire his moves and call him The Matrix, but he may be Bob Arum's professor, not me. He is the same person as everyone else, and I am going to prove it in our fight, ”added Haney.
