The story of the confrontation between Vasily Lomachenko and Devin Haney
The boxers will compete for the undisputed lightweight title. Haney will hold the second defense of this status as the owner of the belts according to all organizations.
The American became the undisputed champion in a duel with George Kambosos. The Australian previously defeated Teofimo Lopez and took away his WBA, WBO and IBF lightweight titles, and Haney forced Abdullaev’s corner to refuse to continue before the fifth round due to Zaur’s broken nose. Devin then made four title defenses against Alfredo Santiago, Yuriorkis Gamboa, Jorge Linares and Joseph Diaz.

Communication with the press
Press conference before the tournament
The boxers held several press conferences and duels of views and have already said a lot of things to each other. Haney, for example, called Lomachenko a dirty boxer and promised to end Vasily’s career.
“Loma is a skilled fighter, but I’m just better than him,” Haney said on the Top Rank Boxing YouTube channel. “I think he’s an amateur who has never fought someone like me — someone who doesn’t care what he did as an amateur. May 20th I’m going to run him over. Whatever he brings to fight night, it won’t be enough. He will try to close the distance and impose dirty boxing. Will hit when exiting the clinch and stuff like that. But I am a strong, big and hardy fighter. He plans to exhaust me, but I will destroy him.”
Lomachenko, on the FightHype.com YouTube channel, replied that he did not understand Haney’s criticism of dirty boxing and believed that he had always fought without breaking the rules: “He started a small game. I love it, I can’t wait for the fight. I don’t know why he called me a dirty fighter. You need to ask him. He has to explain it because I don’t understand what he is talking about. Clinch exit punches are part of boxing. We have judges, we have a referee in the ring. If you’re really trying to do something dirty, then it’s wrong. I always try to fight cleanly, not break the rules. He must explain what he meant. Maybe it’s part of some plan, but it certainly won’t work.”
