Devin Haney and Jose Ramirez are set to face off tonight in a 144lb catchweight bout at Times Square, New York. This fight marks Haney's return to the ring after over a year away from action.
Haney, the former undisputed lightweight champion, is coming off a controversial no-contest against Ryan Garcia in April 2024. The initial loss was overturned when Garcia failed a drug test, testing positive for a banned substance. Since then, Haney has vacated his WBC super-lightweight title and decided to move up to the welterweight division.
On the other side of the ring, Ramirez, a former unified 140lb champion, is looking to get his career back on track. He missed his chance to become undisputed champion when he lost to Josh Taylor in May 2021. His last fight ended in a loss against Arnold Barboza Jr, making tonight's bout crucial for his future in the sport.
This matchup is part of a stacked card that also features Ryan Garcia taking on Rolly Romero. If both Haney and Garcia come out victorious, there's a good chance we'll see a rematch between them later this year.
