Bob Arum has declared that he'd like to make Devin Haney vs Vasyl Lomachenko for Haney's undisputed WBA, WBC, IBF & WBO lightweight world titles…
According to Michael Benson of talkSPORT, Arum wanted to materialize a clash between his star lightweight Vasyl Lomachenko and Haney.
Benson wrote, “Bob Arum has declared that he’d like to make Devin Haney vs Vasyl Lomachenko for Haney’s undisputed WBA, WBC, IBF & WBO lightweight world titles.”
Notably, when Haney and Kambosos were en route to finalize their battle, the name of the two-time Olympic Gold medalist Lomachenko was also surfacing. He was keen on bringing fight on Kambosos in Australia. However, he could not get the opportunity.
But as of now, his promoter Arum has resolved the whole situation. He has announced that he wanted to produce a matchup between Haney and Loma to give an opportunity to his fighter to get back his lightweight titles.
Earlier, Loma had held unified WBA (Super), WBC, WBO, and The Ring magazine lightweight titles from 2018 to 2020.
Further, he lost his throne to hard hitter Teofimo Lopez, who later could not defend these titles against Australian warrior George Kambosos Jr.
