Devin Haney and Vasiliy Lomachenko will meet in a huge main event in Las Vegas this evening, as the American defends the undisputed lightweight titles against the Ukrainian. FOLLOW LIVE: Haney vs Lomachenko - latest fight updates The unbeaten Haney, 24, unified the belts against George Kambosos Jr last June, outpointing the Australian in his own backyard before doing so again in October to retain the titles.

Undisputed lightweight champion Devin Haney defends his titles against Vasiliy Lomachenko in a blockbuster bout this evening. FOLLOW LIVE: Haney vs Lomachenko - latest fight updates American Haney unified the belts against George Kambosos Jr last June in the Australian’s home country, before returning to Kambosos’ backyard to retain the titles in a rematch in October. On both occasions, the unbeaten Haney – who is still just 24 – clinically outboxed his opponent, who was previously undefeated and had taken three of the belts from Teofimo Lopez in 2021. Prior to that, Lopez handed Lomachenko a surprising points defeat in 2020 to become unified champion, but the Ukrainian has responded with three straight wins to set up this fight with Haney in Las Vegas. At 35, Lomachenko, who has held world titles in multiple weight classes, could be running out of time to recapture gold.
