‘The Dream’ Devin Haney will have a lot of eyes on him when he steps into the ring against Yuriorkis Gamboa to defend his WBC lightweight strap on November 7. Being one of the top-gunners and undefeated champions of the lightweight roster, Haney’s upcoming performance will be put on the scale to compare him with other elites, especially Gervonta Davis.

Yuriorkis Gamboa is coming from a loss against Davis in 2019, where ‘Tank’ vanquished him with a 12-round TKO. Thus, boxing fans want to see whether Devin Haney outperforms Gervonta Davis against Gamboa or not. However, the WBC lightweight champion isn’t bothered about such parallels.

He believes that he has a different game plan, and isn’t relying on a one-punch knockout show. Instead, he wants to go in there and display a tactical fight against ‘El Ciclon’ Gamboa. ‘The Dream’ provides an insight into his game plan in a pre-fight interaction.

Devin Haney has his own set of answers for comparisons with Gervonta Davis

During an interview with Fight hype.com, Haney addressed several issues ahead of his high-voltage fight. Since ‘Tank’ registered another stunning KO win against Leo Santa Cruz, the comparison may be more likely now. However, Haney’s confidence is still unmatched.

He said, “I could go in there and I could take 30 punches and hit him with one punch and knock him out and you know, how good is that?”

As per the WBC champion, he wants to look good throughout the fight. Thus, he doesn’t want to get hit. He added, “It’s about going in there and looking pretty, not getting touched with anything and executing the game plan. I am not into taking punches and just to hit a guy with one punch and knock him out. That’s not my thing.”

Looking forward to cementing his twenty-fifth professional win, Haney will look to topple the veteran contender in Gamboa. Meanwhile, Gamboa also has the chance to shock the world by claiming the lightweight gold. No matter who takes the win, it will be an alluring lightweight blockbuster for the fight fans,
