Who is Devin Haney?

Devin Haney, who was trained by his father Bill Haney in their own dedicated space, is one of the youngest boxing world champions in history., winning his first world title in 2019.

Haney is a two-weight division champion. He became the undisputed lightweight champion by beating George Kambosos Jr in 2022. After successfully defending his titles for over a year, he decided to vacate them and make the jump to the junior lightweight division. He currently holds the WBC belt in that weight class.

Also known as 'The Dream', the 25-year-old sits second in Ring Magazine's rankings for active junior-lightweight pugilists. Furthermore, he is ranked #3 at junior lightweight by the Transnational Boxing Rankings.

Devin Haney’s early life

Devin Haney was born in San Francisco California to Rene and Bill Haney on November 17, 1998. When Haney was conceived, his parents were already separated by that time. Interestingly, before Devin’s birth, Bill Haney was a drug felon who spent 40 months behind bars for possession and conspiracy to distribute cocaine. The birth of his child forced him to get his act together. Subsequently, he started training Devin in boxing when he was just seven.

“‘I’m going to take you to the [Round One Boxing] gym, and let’s see what you can do with some guys that really know how to fight’. He looked back at me, ‘OK’. He wasn’t intimidated at all. Devin was 8 years old.” Bill told TalkSport.

By fourteen, with his mother’s blessings, Devin moved to Los Vegas from Oakland, where his father was trying to make it in the music business, to continue training and build a career in boxing. The sacrifices and the hard work paid off as Devin, under his father’s guidance, turned pro at the age of 17 in 2015, with over 100 amateur wins under his belt. However being too young to get a license in the United States, Haney started his professional career fighting in pool halls and bars in front of a hostile Mexican crowd. In fact, out of his first fifteen professional fights, ten of them were held in Mexico.

“Fighting in Mexico in a bar, you never thought you’d make it this far,” Haney had told Fight Freaks. “I knew I’d make it this far, but I knew I had a long road. I wasn’t the guy who came out of the amateurs, signed to a big promoter, and was fighting on big shows. I fought in Mexico for a long period of time. It’s been a long time coming for me,” he added.

Haney can look back fondly at his formative years as his professional boxing record currently stands at 31-1-0, becoming a champion in two-weight classes.
