Rated as one of the most powerful boxers in the world of all time in the Lightweight weight class, Devin Haney only takes 3 years to acquire all the most valuable titles. He held the WBA (Super), WBC, WBO, IBF belt with the title of The Ring magazine. That is the result after 2 consecutive times won George Kambosos Jr.
Sharing before the media, Haney said that the confrontation with Lomachenko was what he had expected for a long time. Even the absolute champion in the Lightweight weight class also wants the match between England and Lomachenko taking place in March this year, less than 5 months after Haney defeated Kambosos for the second time.
For some reasons, the battle between Haney and Lomachenko had to move to May, and this was unexpected Haney. He said: “If the match takes place in May, I have to practice and prepare in the month of Ramadan. It is not easy for a Islamic followers like me at this time.”
But overcome difficulties, Devin Haney was still well prepared to enter the confrontation with Lomachenko. Although the opponent on the other side was a veteran boxer who won the Olympic champion twice and won the championship in 3 different weight classes, Haney was still rated slightly better than Lomachenko about the opportunity to win in this match.
Haney's advantage is not only youthful and playing at home. The boxer born in 1998 has a 1m80 long -armed arm, longer than Lomachenko up to 14cm. This gives Haney better than Lomachenko, through which he can use the forte are long -range JABs like two confrontations with Kambosos.
