Playing in the Lightweight weight class, both Devin Haney and Vasiliy Lomachenko easily overcome the weight test before the competition. However, drama only takes place when the two boxers met each other. Devin Haney shows that even when holding all the champions, he is not afraid to provoke the opponent.
Right from the time of meeting Lomachenko, Haney kept saying “he would lose” on Lomachenko's side. The conflict between two boxers originated 4 years ago, when Haney was still a young boxer, and Lomachenko was a world boxing monument. Haney then wanted to challenge Lomachenko but were not paid attention to.
Not only does Lomachenko constantly lose, Haney will go further while meeting. He pushed the Olympic championship when he was not alert. A lot of people have to immediately jump into the case to avoid unfortunate incidents that may continue to occur, especially in case Haney does not keep calm.
Talking about Haney constantly provoking and pushing himself down, Lomachenko replied softly: “Haney is young but has no power. What he does just to hide one thing: Haney is afraid of me. He kept talking about what I lost tomorrow, but I was definitely the one who won, not him.”
On Devin Haney's side, he said he had been waiting for 4 years to confront Lomachenko into a reality. Haney has just spent Muslim's Ramadan chay month, but that does not seem to affect his preparation too much for the next match.
