What is Devin Haney's record?

Haney has never lost as a professional and his record stands at 29-0.

The American turned professional in 2015, defeating Gonzalo Lopez Rodriguez via TKO.

It was not until 2019 that he made a name for himself when he won the WBC International and WBO Inter-Continental Lightweight titles after beating Xolisani Ndongeni in Shreveport. 

In 2020, he defeated Yuriorkis Gamboa on points, before securing a decision victory over Jorge Linares in May 2021.

He finished 2021 with a victory over Joseph Diaz before unifying the division in 2022 when beating Kambosos Jr in June, before then overcoming the Aussie in a rematch in October.

Haney has shown tremendous skill of late, winning his last six bouts via decision, but he has also recorded 15 stoppage wins during his 29-fight career.

What is Vasiliy Lomachenko's record?

Lomachenko is still regarded as one of the world's best amateurs ever, and he has done extremely well in the paid ranks since turning professional in 2013.

As an amateur, Lomachenko finished with a record of 396 wins and 1 loss, while as a pro his CV reads 17-2.

Unlike Haney, he has held world titles in three world classes, from featherweight to lightweight.

Lomachenko was beaten by Orlando Salido via a split decision in only his second fight, but he worked incredibly hard to make his way back to the top of the division.

He beat Gary Allen Russell Jr to win the WBO featherweight title in June 2014, before he battled past Roman Martinez to clinch the WBO junior lightweight title.

Lomachenko then overcame Linares in May 2018 to win the WBA Super and The Ring lightweight titles.

Lopez is the only fighter to beat Lomachenko since 2014 and, since losing to Lopez, the Ukrainian has won three on the spin.

Masayoshi Nakatani, Richard Commey, and Jamaie Ortiz were all outclassed by Lomachenko, and six of his 17 wins have come before the final bell.

Who is on the undercard for Devin Haney v Vasiliy Lomachenko?

The full undercard has yet to be finalised ahead of the May show, as Nico Ali Walsh - who will open the card - has yet to have an opponent confirmed.

Junto Nakatani and Andrew Moloney will meet for the WBO super flyweight title, while at super featherweight, Oscar Valdez and Adam Lopez will go toe-to-toe.

Jeremia Nakathila and Raymond Muratalla will also clash in what is expected to be the chief support for Haney versus Lomachenko.
