Being the shorter fighter in the ring, Lomachenko would have to close in on the distance in order to land his shots on Devin Haney. Speaking about Lomachenko trying to get inside, Haney said, “We got to just see. We know Loma, we know that’s his game plan to get inside try to make it as dirty as possible, try to hit and break, and do things like that.” However, Haney feels he is a strong fighter who is simultaneously big and conditioned and will be able to face Lomachenko’s heat.

“But, I’m a strong fighter, I’m big, I’m conditioned, and I’m going there to break him down,” he added. In his opinion, Lomachenko’s game plan is “to go in there and break me down, and try to wait till I get tired and all.” However, the undisputed champion is confident that he won’t allow Lomachenko to execute his plans. “But, I’m gonna go in there and break him down and he’s gonna be tired,” Haney, who slammed Lomachenko for his delusional comments, assured the public.
