Devin Haney shocked the world with his latest controversial win over two-time Olympic gold medalist and former unified world lightweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko. Although Lomachenko, according to many boxers and fans, displayed a better fight than Haney, the latter retained his undisputed status. Following this victory over Lomachenko, “a tremendous champion,” in Bill Haney’s words, Haney stated that he proved himself.

After the bout, Haney branded Lomachenko as a “crafty veteran” and expressed they fought a close fight. In his opinion, there were rounds which, “of course,” the Ukrainian boxer won. However, Haney felt he did enough, as he said, “confident that I won the fight“. Following one of the biggest victories in his career, Haney took to Instagram and called himself the “Undisputed Villain“.

Going into the contest, Haney realized that it would not be an easy walk with Lomachenko and that he would have to go “through the fire to win“.

After Michael Benson shared Haney’s post via Twitter, several people reacted to it. According to one person, Haney is the “new Floyd Mayweather” as he is “Hated by many” but “loved by few“.

Meanwhile, one fan said, “Tank via KO…

Another fan said, “I mean, he fought a good fight last night. I think Loma won but we shouldn’t be mad at Haney. Be mad at the judges.”
