Haney on Lomachenko fight: 'I challenged him when he looked invincible'

Dmitriy Kel March 30, 2023, 2:40 a.m.

Absolute World Lightweight Champion Devin Haney stated that he had been trying to get a fight against Vasily Lomachenko.

“This is the fight I've always wanted since I was 19 or 20. I called Loma when he seemed invincible, when he was called the matrix, the first number of the pound-for-pound rating, and so on. I challenged him, but he went the way of the franchise championship. However, people said that I was just bluffing, that I really didn't want to fight him.

But all this shows how much I really wanted to fight him, because at this stage of my career I am not obliged to fight Lomachenko, but I chose him as my opponent. It shows that I don't just call fighters, I fight them," Haney said in an interview with Fight Hype.
