Devin Haney is set to square off against Vasiliy Lomachenko on May 20 in the fighting capital of the world, Las Vegas. Haney is the undisputed lightweight champion and all of his belts will be on the line. This means, Lomachenko has an opportunity to become champion again and will make sure to cut no corners to be the victor. The stakes are as high as they can get for any lightweight bout and both fighters appear to be in incredible shape.

However, almost a week away from the fight, a recent picture has surfaced online in which Haney appears to be looking bigger than expected. The fans are now concerned if the lightweight champion would make championship weight and do it without jeopardizing his health.

However, fans suspect the fighter is looking way to be big to make weight @BOXINGnBBQ took to Twitter and reported a picture of Haney stating, “Man Devin Haney is ready to fight Loma this Saturday instead!

A fan named Igwe Ugo does not credit his shape to having any role to play in the fight. He stated, “Shape doesn’t matter if the weight ain’t right… and he doesn’t look like he’s anywhere near 135lbs in that photo”

One fan named Roberto Montaño mentioned that carrying that much weight ahead of the fight does not favor him. He stated, “Yeah but that’s not 135. That’s the hardest part. He body frame as he grows is gonna be hard.”

One fan named Luchini is of the opinion that Haney should move up the weight class. He stated, “He needs to move up to 140 after this. Cant be good on his body to keep cutting so much.”
