With the potential to be 2023’s “Fight of the Year,” two dominant lightweights will embark on Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena to declare division supremacy. This Saturday (May 20), undefeated Devin “The Dream” Haney (29-0, 15 KO) will square up with southpaw Vasiliy Lomachenko (17-2, 11 KO) in a Top Rank event for the WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring lightweight titles. Also, the winner here likely decides Gervonta Davis’ next opponent.
It was not so long ago that Lomachenko was considered the most feared man in a respected lightweight division. Boasting incredible footwork and ring discipline, Loma operates as a surgeon in the ring. However, after losing his titles to Teofimo Lopez back in October 2020 via UD (and taking time away from boxing to serve his native country of Ukraine), Loma is looking to emerge as the division’s top fighter. Lomachenko’s most recent fight was a UD victory over Jamaine Ortiz last October at Madison Square Garden.
We mentioned the lightweight division is currently saturated with top-tier talent; Well, Haney may be the best of the bunch. Standing at 5’8, Haney has a reach of 71 inches (which is an inch taller and half-a-foot longer than Loma). With his size/length also comes incredible skill and speed—it is no shocker that Haney is the current undisputed lightweight champion. Haney is coming off back-to-back wins over George Kambosos Jr., both in Kambosos’ home nation of Australia. Since making his professional debut in 2015, Haney has never lost or drawn.
