On the 20th of this month, Devin Haney will square off against Ryan Garcia with his WBC Super-Lightweight title on the line. However, ‘The Dream’ is already interested in fighting other champions! Well, before moving up to the Super-Lightweight division in December last year, Haney defeated George Kambosos Jr. in 2022 to become the undisputed Lightweight champion of the world.
Later, Devin Haney defended his undisputed Lightweight title in a rematch against Kambosos Jr. in 2022 and then against Vasyl Lomachneko last year in Las Vegas. Following the controversial victory against Lomachenko, Haney moved up to 140 lbs and challenged Regis Prograis for the WBC title. Now, before the Garcia fight, ‘The Dream’ dreams of becoming undisputed at Super-Lightweight!
On March 30th, Isaac Cruz dethroned Rolando Romero in the 8th round of their fight to become the new WBA Super-Lightweight champion. Meanwhile, Teofimo Lopez has the WBO Super-Lightweight title. On June 29, Lopez will potentially defend the same against Steve Claggett. On the other hand, Subriel Matias has to fight Liam Paro with his IBF Super-Lightweight title on the line.
