On Saturday night, the WBC lightweight champ, Devin Haney, will take on his second fight of 2021 against Joseph Diaz. Here, Haney will look to defend his title once again successfully to advance his chances for an undisputed title fight ahead.

That said, this fight holds some weight to its name and everyone is keen to see how Haney tackles the veteran in Diaz. A lot of boxing biggies have already given their opinion on this fight, and recently ‘TBE’ Floyd Mayweather too gave his honest opinion on this bout.

Speaking to FightHype, he said, ”Wish them both nothing but the best. You know, Devin had a chance to work in our gym ever since he’s been a little, you know, a small kid. ‘Jo Jo’ Diaz. I think he just beat a guy didn’t he. They didn’t expect him to beat. So it should be a good matchup.”
