“I used to think it was a belt situation,” undisputed light-weight champion of the world Devin Haney says in an interview posted by FightHub, “but now that I’ve got everything they still don’t want to fight me.” Haney is referring to his friends in and across the light-weight division, the place names like Lomachenko, Davis, and Garcia reside. One one who sure DOES need to face Haney is his October sixteenth opponent, former light-weight titlist George Kambosos, the person Haney defeated to change into undisputed champion final June. With that in thoughts, most anticipate Haney to dominate Kambosos of their rematch very similar to he did within the first battle late final spring.
“It just proves how much of a threat I really am,” he says of the actual fact he’s but to face one of many division’s larger names – a minimum of not but. “They care about keeping an 0,” he says of those attainable opponents. “They don’t want to lose.” While it’s fairly a cost (one this author isn’t prepared to make), that Haney is being outright ducked by these nicely regarded fighters round him, it’s apparent that the 23 12 months previous is a really powerful evening out for anybody he would possibly face.
Still, it’s Haney who holds all the key belts at light-weight. Anyone who needs to rule the at the moment pink sizzling division goes to should get previous the Las Vegas resident first. “In due time these fights will happen,” the fighter often called “The Dream” says to FightHub. “When they do happen, I’ll be ready.” The fact is among the main battles Haney needs could come ahead of some would possibly assume. Bob Arum, who promotes each Haney and Lomachenko, reportedly needs the the 2 males to sq. off as soon as Haney presumably will get previous Kambosos and Lomachenko presumably will get previous Jamaine Ortiz when the 2 males do battle on October twenty ninth.
Should the hoped for Haney-Lomachenko battle come to fruition, there’s little question Haney will cope with the strain of a excessive finish bout the identical approach he’s handled having to face Kambosos twice within the man’s native Australia…with unflappable resolve. It’s what one of the best fighters do with a view to place themselves head and shoulders above the remainder – they carry out nicely underneath strain. “I’m just going to keep beating whoever they put in front of me,” Haney says matter of factly. Anyone desirous to show Haney unsuitable could have to take action within the ring.
