“My adventure with light weight is slowly coming to an end,” says Devin Haney (29-0, 15 KOs), absolute world champion in the weight category up to 61.2 kilograms. The American will put all four belts on the line on May 20 in a confrontation with Vasily Lomachenko (17-2, 11 KOs). But lightweight now is full of stars like Shakur Stevenson, Gervonta Davis, Isaac Cruz and rising star Frank Martin.

“My days at lightweight are numbered, although I may delay my move to fight Davis or Stevenson. These are the only opponents for which I will remain in lightweight after the fight with Lomachenko, ”said the American.

“I have been boxing in lightweight since I was 16 years old. My body has changed a lot over the years. I still feel good, healthy and strong, I have a great nutritionist, but my days at lightweight are numbered. I'm only staying here because of Stevenson and Davis," Haney insisted once more.

Shakur Stevenson (20-0, 10 KOs) is the WBC mandatory and Gervonta Davis (29-0, 27 KOs) is currently one of the biggest PPV stars.
