On May 20, at a boxing evening organized by Top Rank in the USA, a fight for the title of absolute lightweight champion will take place between Devin Haney (29-0, 15 KOs) and Vasily Lomachenko (17-2, 11 KOs). Official confirmation of the fight is expected in the near future.
A few weeks ago, Bob Arum, the promoter of both fighters, revealed that the financial terms for this fight had been agreed. It is not yet known whether it will be shown in a Pay-Per-View pay-per-view in the United States.
The IBF, WBA, WBO and WBC American titles will be at stake in the meeting. Previously, Lomachenko owned championship belts in three weight categories.
