LAS VEGAS, NV (Juni 29, 2018) – 19-year-old undefeated sensation and USBA Lightweight kampioen, Devin “De droom” Haney (19-0, 13 KO), has captured his second title before age 20, but even more impressive, is his ranking at # 15 door de IBF, meaning a title shot is near.

 

 

 

“It means the world to me to be ranked in the top 15 by a major sanctioning body like the IBF,” zei Devin Haney. “I work extremely hard. I have dedicated my life to the sport of boxing, and the fact that sanctioning bodies are taking notice of my hard work, reaffirms all the sacrifice I have made. I am very excited for what the future holds.”

 

 

 

In his last bout Haney defeated Mason Menard (33-3, 24 KO) by way of ninth-round technical knockout, and earned the victory when Menard’s corner stopped the bout heading into the tenth and final round. Haney handed Menard a one-sided beating up until that point, forcing Menard’s corner to stop the fight. This victory, which headlined Showtime’s “ShoBox: De volgende generatie”, also awarded Devin, the USBA Lightweight title.

 

 

 

“I know that after the statement I made in the last fight, people will be watching me closely,” Haney ging verder. “I have a lot of hype around me! The cat is out of the bag! I’m nobody’s prospect. Ik ben een mededinger. If the winner of Garcia vs Oostelijk wants to fight me next, I’m available. The industry and the real fight fans know who I am. They know I can fight. It’s only going to get better. I’m working hard, and I promise that in my next fight, je zult zien, an even better Devin Haney than before.”

 

 

 

Devin Haney is the youngest fighter ever to hold the USBA Lightweight title in the organization’s history. In September, Devin will be making his return to the ring, as he gears up for his first title defense.
