“Now he is mine,” said Vasily Lomachenko (17-2, 11 KOs) after Devin Haney (29-0, 15 KOs) first attacked him verbally at the weigh-in, and then pushed him before the fight for all four lightweight belts. The current champion, apparently, either could not stand the tension, or wants to provoke the Ukrainian at all costs. The Nevada State Athletic Commission intends to question Haney and possibly fine him for his behavior at the ceremonial weigh-ins.

“This is just the beginning. Did you see how this baby flew away when I pushed him away? He is smaller and physically weaker, I will put my conditions on him in the ring, ”said Haney.

“Now he is mine. What he did only shows that he is afraid and nervous. And his push was not so strong. He is weak. I saw fear in his eyes,” Lomachenko said.

"I'm going to beat him so hard that he'll be delisted where he belongs," Haney added.

The broadcast of the boxing evening from Las Vegas will begin at 3 a.m. Kyiv time. Top Rank promised to make this evening on his YouTube channel free of charge on the territory of Ukraine. The start of the main fight of the evening Heney-Lomachenko is approximately after 5 in the morning.
