Haney vs Lomachenko Preview
The 24-year-old Haney (29-0, 15 KOs) is set to defend all four of his belts in this one (his IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO lightweight titles will all be on the line). It will be Haney’s second defense of his belts and it could be the final opportunity the far-older 35-year-old Lomachenko (17-2, 11 KOs) has to fulfill his career ambition of being an undisputed champion.
“Loma will bring the best out of me and the world will give me my just due after this fight,” Haney said about Saturday’s fight, via Boxing News Online. “My main focus is going there and winning, and looking good. I look to beat him bad. It’s very personal. He’s somebody that ducked me for four years; that started a franchise; the whole whatever. He’s somebody I was calling – he wouldn’t say my name for a long time – and now that he’s hungry, he’s thirsty, he wants to fight. But it’s okay, because I know I’m the better fighter, and I will show it.”
“It’s not personal,” Lomachenko responded when asked about Haney’s comments. “You need to understand. Egis explained – four years ago he was a top boxer, a good boxer, but he was without the belts. My goal was four belts. I had three belts and at that moment I needed just one more. It was the IBF and Lopez held this belt. That’s why we organised the fight with Lopez. We can’t organise with this guy [Haney] just because he wants this fight. He wasn’t on my plan, because my dream was four belts. If I’d had four belts and he’d been a contender, no problem. No problem.”
