"I want to beat him badly." Haney lunges at Lomachenko. The Ukrainian reacted

Absolute world lightweight champion Devin Haney (29-0, 15 KOs) expressed confidence that he will defeat Ukrainian Vasyl Lomachenko (17-2, 12 KOs) in a fight on May 20. The holder of all the belts in the division has no doubt that he will successfully defend his titles and force our compatriot to end his career.

Haney said this in an interview with the press service of the Top Ramh promotional company, which quoted the champion on its Twitter page. The American added that he intends to simply beat Lomachenko. "I don't like Loma. I want to beat him badly. I want to retire him," Haney said.

The Ukrainian former champion in three weight categories reacted calmly to his opponent's attack. He urged the unbeaten boxer from the United States to shut up. "He has a chance. Let him prove what he's talking about. No more words. Only on May 20," said Vasyl.

The fight between the Ukrainian and the American will take place on May 20 in Las Vegas, USA. OBOZREVATEL will broadcast the Lomachenko vs Haney fight online. The approximate start is at 6:00 on Sunday, May 21, Kyiv time.

Earlier it became known that Ukraine refused to broadcast the Lomachenko-Haney fight. Megogo also named the reasons for this step. Our boxing fans reacted strongly to this decision. It was also revealed how much the Ukrainian will earn for the fight.

As OBOZREVATEL previously reported, former world champion in two weight categories Paul Malignaggi smashed Devin Haney over his words about Vasyl Lomachenko. The Ukrainian boxer himself addressed the fans and provoked a strong reaction from his compatriots.
