The American could not resist the duel of views
Undisputed World Lightweight Champion Devin Haney pushed the ex-world champion in three weight categories Vasily Lomachenko.
The incident occurred during an open weigh-in ceremony. Boxers, after the procedure, had a short duel of views, during which the American could not withstand the pressure and pushed Lomachenko away with both hands.
Earlier, boxers held an official closed weigh-in. 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 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+.
Recall that 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. The broadcast will be available on the Top Rank YouTube channel in Ukraine.
The referee in the ring will be Harvey Doc from New Jersey. Side judges are Dave Moretti and Tim Cheetham (both from Nevada), as well as David Sutherland (Oklahoma).
