Devin Haney Hosts A Media Workout Ahead of Vasiliy Lomachenko Fight
Undisputed lightweight champion Devin Haney takes advantage of the media in town as he hosted a workout earlier today.
On May 20, we will get an undisputed lightweight fight between the champion Devin Haney (29-0), defending his belts against Vasiliy Lomachenko (17-2). It’s a fight for the purist as the two fighters perform at the highest level of pugilism. While there are tons of media in town for the Davis-Garcia fight, this was a good time to hold a media workout and get quotes from the champ along with those on the undercard. Here are the quotes sent out by Top Rank.
Devin Haney
“Camp has been great. I’m feeling good. I’m feeling strong. My weight is good. I’m happy and in good spirts. I’m ready to go.”
“When we go into a fight, it’s a war. It’s combat. Two warriors going at it. We put our life on the line when we go in that ring.”
“He has experience and ring generalship. I know he’s training for a dirty fight. He wants to get in and get as dirty as possible in the clinch. That’s what I’ve heard that he’s training for. We’re just preparing for whatever he brings to the table. We know the type of fight that he wants.”
