Haney praised Lomachenko: "400 fights and only three defeats is extraordinary"

Absolute World Lightweight Champion Devin Haney paid tribute to his next opponent Vasily Lomachenko.

“I can never say that I have an easy job ahead of me. Loma has 400 amateur and pro fights and has only lost three times. So I need to show my best performance to keep the titles.

400 fights and only three defeats is extraordinary. This is the next level. I strive to be the best version of myself and make this fight as easy as possible. I want to make the world think it's easy. I don't underestimate him in any way.

Someone can study me all day, but I have so many different styles. I just need to adapt to what the opponent has to offer. It doesn't matter how hard they study me. In a fight, it can seem like a completely different fighter than the one you were watching, ”Boxing News 24/7 quotes Haney.

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