Earlier this year, undisputed Lightweight champion Devin Haney and Vasyl Lomachenko clashed in a highly anticipated title clash that left the boxing world divided. Despite winning the bout on the judge’s scorecards, the undefeated boxer’s victory has been the subject of intense debate among boxing experts and fans. The controversy surrounding this fight has only grown as Haney’s next move looms, rumored to be a clash with Regis Prograis for the WBC junior welterweight world title in the fall.
However, ‘The Dream’ has been unwavering in his assertion that Lomachenko is a sore loser. Recently, he took to social media to vent his frustrations and shed light on an intriguing post-fight development.

Haney came out firing asserting that the Ukrainian was sent to the hospital after the fight. In addition, he suggested that Lomachenko’s camp did not want people to know this as well.
“Do your homework… Loma went the hospital after the fight. But they don’t want you to know that.” he wrote.
Swiftly responding to Haney’s claim was Lomachenko’s long-time manager, Egis Klimas. Klimas acknowledged that Lomachenko did indeed visit the hospital but clarified that it was not for his own injuries. Instead, it was to check on Haney’s well-being. This was not all as Klimas also put forward a challenge for a rematch.
Devin, WOW you got correct information, we did go to hospital and we was looking for you just to make sure you are ok as you been punched so many times into your head, but we’ve been told ambulances took you to different hospital.we was worry about you. How about rematch? Scary? https://t.co/uXhMtESTPE
