Haney warns Lomachenko: 'This is a bad time to fight me'

Absolute World Lightweight Champion Devin Haney said that Vasily Lomachenko you should have fought him long ago, and not wait until he reaches the peak.

“Lomachenko's last performance was not the best of his career. He entered the ring and showed that he was getting old. But Lomachenko also came from the war. I'm sure he thought about many things. But let's see how it will be. We are preparing to face the best version of Loma on the day of the battle. We are reviewing his best performances. Before Lomachenko showed his weaknesses, I challenged him for many years.

What is it like to fight Lomachenko? This is a blessing. I'm glad I finally got this chance. Things have changed and that's great. Now I am the leader, I gave him a chance. I am satisfied that I have proven myself. I told him to fight me because in the end the longer he waits the worse it gets for him. I think it's a very bad time to fight me," Haney said in an interview with YouTube channel Fight Hub TV.

Recall that the fight between Haney and Lomachenko will take place on May 20 in Las Vegas.
