According to the organizers, the lightweight boxers with the title will have a chess game in the ring.
Promotional organization Top Rank has officially announced the fight between undisputed world lightweight champion Devin Haney and former world champion in three weight categories Vasily Lomachenko.
The company’s press service showed a promo video of the fight, which will determine the title of the best athlete of the division.
It is worth noting that the fight between Haney and Lomachenko has been compared to a game of chess.
It’s interesting that the Ukrainian figures are white and marked with the Ukrainian flag. As for Haney’s pieces, they are golden in color, and not the traditional black for chess.
It will be remembered that the fight will take place on May 20 in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
