Davis: Heney Lomachenko will fight middleweight

Vasily Lomachenko (17-2, 11 KOs) will face Devin Haney (29-0, 15 KOs) in lightweight, but Gervonta Davis claims that on the day of the fight his compatriot will take him to the ring as a middleweight boxer.

“Tank” is convinced that the undisputed world champion in the weight category up to 61.2 kg will be able to “regain” 11 kilograms in 24 hours after weighing in. It's no secret that Haney is already racing a lot to fit into lightweight, and this may be his last performance in this weight class before moving up to light welterweight.

“This guy has eaten up to middleweight and still in the ring he can’t even break the nose of his opponents,” said “Tank” Davis mockingly.

The fight for the status of the undisputed lightweight world champion will take place on May 20 in Las Vegas.

“Lomachenko could have fought me four years ago. Today it will be much harder for him, because I have become much better at boxing, I have become much stronger and more experienced. I know it won't be easy, but I will win," Haney said.
