Vasiliy Lomachenko: “It’s More Pressure For Haney”
Las Vegas, Nevada – Ukrainian boxing sensation Vasiliy Lomachenko is on the verge of achieving his long-cherished dream of becoming an undisputed world champion in the lightweight division. Lomachenko (17-2, 11 KOs). Renowned for his incredible amateur record of 396 wins and just a single defeat. He will face off against Devin Haney at the MGM Grand this Saturday night in what promises to be an electrifying showdown.
Lomachenko’s path to glory hasn’t been without obstacles. In only his second professional bout, he narrowly missed claiming a championship title. Losing a closely contested decision to seasoned veteran Orlando Salido. Undeterred, Lomachenko went on to claim numerous world titles, establishing himself as the man to beat in the lightweight division. However, the coveted status of an undisputed champion has eluded him thus far.
This high-stakes bout will see Devin Haney (current holder of the IBF, WBO, WBC, and WBA lightweight titles) defend his belts against the seasoned Ukrainian warrior. Although Haney has enjoyed an impressive professional career, he has yet to check the box of being an undisputed champion. With his youthfulness, size, and exceptional skills. Oddsmakers have labelled the 24-year-old reigning kingpin as the overwhelming favourite leading up to this clash.
