The Ukrainian boxer considers the statement of the absolute world champion in lightweight wrong.
Devin Haney needs to learn more about the rules of boxing. This is how Vasily Lomachenko reacted to criticism from the undisputed world lightweight champion.
According to the Ukrainian, he was always a gentleman in the ring and always acted only according to the established rules.
“Haney’s words don’t bother me. I know who I am and what I can do. Throughout my boxing career, I’ve always been a gentleman in the ring. I can’t comment on his words. You might have asked him about it .Why does he say that?
Did I punch in the clinch? This is the rule: you stay in the clinch and work, and then when the referee says something, you have to react. If he is quiet and doesn’t say anything, I have to work. It doesn’t matter, close range, long range, clinch or no clinch, I still work. right? Is it in the rules? Eat. So I don’t understand. It wasn’t a surprise for me, because I knew the rules. Maybe he should read the rules, teach them a little. I don’t know,” Lomachenko said in an interview on Fight Hub TV’s YouTube channel.
It will be remembered that the duel between Devin Haney and Vasily Lomachenko should take place tomorrow, May 20, in American Las Vegas at the MGM Grand arena.
Vasily Lomachenko said earlier that Devin Haney talks too much and must prove it in the ring.
