Undisputed lightweight clash between Devin Haney and Vasiliy Lomachenko is ‘essentially made’ says Bob Arum

0 59


Devin Haney will put his undisputed lightweight world titles on the line in 2023 in a super fight against Vasiliy Lomachenko.

The 24-year-old American fighter both won and defended the titles against George Kambosos Jr in Australia last October.

Haney was too good for Kambosos Jr in both of their fights

Meanwhile, Lomachenko took some time off after his loss against Teofimo Lopez and then again when the war in Ukraine began, as he returned to his home country.

Since then, however, the former pound-for-pound king of boxing has put together three straight victories and he has looked as sharp as ever, making a fight with Haney extremely enticing.

Bob Arum, who promotes both fighters, recently told talkSPORT that the pair had ‘committed to the fight’ and now he has provided a further update.

“That fight is essentially made,” Arum told Sky Sports.

“We’re looking for the site and the date and that’ll be announced shortly.

“I had lunch with Bill Haney, Devin’s father, and Devin joined us and they’re all ready. They’re lovely people.

This would be a classic young, hungry champion vs experienced legend fight

“That fight will happen either before or right after Ramadan, because Devin is a religious Muslim and so we can’t do it during Ramadan but we could do it before or after. So I discussed all of that with the Haneys.”

Haney and Lomachenko have met once previously, after the Ukrainian’s most recent win against Jamaine Ortiz at Madison Square Garden in New York.

After the fight, Haney joined Lomachenko in the ring and the size difference between them was immediately noticeable.

“Is this a lightweight? No, it’s a heavyweight,” Lomachenko joked, with Haney replying, “In the ring I’ll show you.”
