Devin Haney ranks among the most debatable talents in boxing at present. By adding constant wins to his resume, Haney holds the WBC lightweight title under his wing, coupled with an undefeated stint. In his last fight against Yuriorkis Gamboa, the ‘Dream’ defended his title for the very first time, claiming a unanimous decision win.

However, in a recent chat with FightHype, Haney unveiled some shocking news pertaining to that fight.

He said, “Lot of people don’t know in that fight I broke my hand, like probably like two or three months before the fight or whatever. So I wasn’t 100 percent going into the fight.

“It was my right hand, it was the same arm, same hand that the shoulder was on so just going into it my right hand wasn’t that strong. But I still landed some good shots, and I still felt like I put on a great master class boxing lesson,” he added.

Despite a broken hand, Haney fought his heart out. Not even for a second, did he look like he was getting drained. Instead, as the rounds progressed, the young gun picked up the pace and gave his extreme best in the 12-round tussle.

With a win in this fight, he improved his track record to 25-0. Moreover, Haney looks even stronger than before to defend his titles yet again.
