Shakur is not confident in the combat capability of the Ukrainian
WBC and WBO super featherweight world champion Shakur Stevenson commented on a possible fight Davina Haney and Vasily Lomachenko.
“I heard that Lomachenko said he wants to win championship belts. Devin will try to make this a boxing match as much as possible.”
“Lomachenko will try to rush forward and put up a fight. But I see Devin winning. Haney has a speed advantage over Lomachenko. Lomachenko is old, Haney is too tough for him.”
“I think that his [Хэйни] the speed will be too high for Lomachenko if they fight.”
Lomachenko fought his last fight in December last year, defeating Richard Commey by unanimous decision.
Subsequently, Lomachenko could fight George Kambosos, but pulled out against the backdrop of a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.
In July, the Ukrainian announced his readiness to return to the ring. It is expected that Vasily will fight his fight after a long pause in October.
Stevenson defeated Oscar Valdez by unanimous decision in May to unify the super featherweight belts. Shakur inflicted the first defeat of his career on the Mexican.
On September 23, Stevenson will fight against the Brazilian Robson Conceicao. In this fight, boxing will defend two titles in the second featherweight division.
