“Today I am the face of boxing,” says Devin Haney (30-0, 15 KO), world lightweight champion according to WBA, IBF and WBO.
Until recently, the American was the absolute champion in the weight category up to 61.2 kilograms, but he lost the WBC title Shakur Stevenson. In return, Haney moved up to super lightweight and will fight December 9th Regis Prograis (29-1, 24 KOs) for his WBC belt at the heavier weight limit. However, Devin does not rule out a return to the lightweight division.
“I am someone who takes risks, stays active and competes with the best in the world, filling arenas. I'm not the guy who picks his own opponents or avoids anyone. I don’t rule out returning to lightweight next year for a big fight with “Tank” for big money. Other lightweight fights probably don’t make as much sense to me,” Haney said.
The "Tank" itself Gervonta Davis (29-0, 27 KOs), a PPV star, bounces between featherweight, lightweight and super lightweight.
