"He's delusional": Haney laughs at Lomachenko's words before fight

Absolute world lightweight champion Devin Gainey (29-0, 15 KOs) laughed at the words of Ukrainian Vasyl Lomachenko (17-2, 11 KOs), who, despite two defeats in his professional career, called himself undefeated. The American boxer stressed that our compatriot lost to Teofimo Lopez (18-1, 13 KOs) in October 2020.

Haney told reporters about this during an open training session, the video of which was published by the YouTube channel Fight Hub TV. The holder of all the titles in the division stressed that Lomachenko looked scared in the fight with Lopez, and his words about the injury in that fight look ridiculous.

"He's delusional. It's a f*cking delusion. He lost not even once, but twice. Lopez beat him cleanly. Yes, the fight with Solido was pretty close, but Teofimo beat him cleanly. I'm not interested in what Loma says. An injury or something else... In the end, he got into the ring. He joined the fight with Lopez late. He fought that fight scared for all 12 rounds, and then he talks about an injury. I don't want to listen to that. Did he really say he hadn't lost? He's not invincible. He's lost twice and he's going to lose again on May 20," Haney said.

The fight between Devin and Vasyl will take place on May 20 in Las Vegas, USA. OBOZREVATEL will provide a live stream of the Lomachenko vs. The approximate start is at 6:00 on Sunday, May 21, Kyiv time.

At the press conference before the fight, Haney disdained Lomachenko during a duel of looks. The American boxer also refused to shake hands with our boxer. In addition, Devin promised to take the Ukrainian to pieces. He demanded that experts and fans not talk about Vasyl's age. Earlier, Lomachenko said that he would no longer be able to move up to a heavier weight class.

As OBOZREVATEL previously reported, former absolute world lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez gave an unequivocal prediction for the Lomachenko-Haney fight. Devin himself predicted that the Ukrainian would fight him dirty.
