Both fighters hit the lightweight limit
Undisputed World Lightweight Champion Devin Haney and former world champion in three weight divisions Vasily Lomachenko passed the weigh-in ceremony before the fight.
The official weigh-in took place behind closed doors and was not open to fans or the media.
Haney, after taking off his clothes, met the weight limit, showing 134.9 pounds (61.1 kg). Lomachenko weighed exactly 135 pounds (61.2 kg). The official weigh-in ceremony in front of the cameras will take place on the night of May 20, beginning at 2:00 am Kyiv time.
The Lomachenko-Haney fight will take place on May 20 in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden and will be broadcast on PPV on ESPN+.
There are no plans to broadcast the fight in Ukraine yet. The MEGOGO service, which previously broadcast Lomachenko’s fights, and also acts as the official broadcaster of Oleksandr Usyk’s fights, refused to show the Lomachenko-Haney fight.
