“I Just Wanted to Make My Dad Happy”: Devin Haney Relives Old Memories Ahead of Vasyl Lomachenko Fight

Ahead of his anticipated bout with Vasyl Lomachenko, ‘The Dream’ Devin Haney relived old memories of him trying to make his father happy through boxing. Bill Haney, the father of the current undisputed lightweight champion Devin Haney, trained his son since he was a kid. According to ‘The Dream’, he is now proud of seeing his father genuinely happy for what he has over the years created.

On the 20th of May, Devin Haney would share the ring with one of the biggest names in contemporary boxing. Vasyl Lomachneko, the former unified lightweight champion, known for his accuracy and unorthodox skills, would enter with the will to defeat Haney. However, Haney feels he is prepared for Lomachenko’s game plan and would himself make a statement in the ring. In this connection, reflecting on his journey, Haney recently spoke about his father.

I used to try to spar good, just to make my dad happy.” In his opinion, everything he ever accomplished or worked for was to make his father proud.

“Everything was just to see a smile on my dad’s face. Just to come this far for my dad to be like genuinely happy with the creation that he made. What he has made in me, the man I’ve become is a blessing. And I’m happy and I’m proud of that,” Devin Haney, who claimed he would break down Lomachenko, added.
