Comments Thread For: Haney, Concerned With Ramadan, At Odds With Top Rank Over Lomachenko Fight Date

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Devin Haney would ideally want to fight the toughest opponent of his career before the start of the Ramadan holiday. The undisputed lightweight champion and practicing ****** is headed toward a showdown with former lightweight kingpin and three-division titlist Vasiliy Lomachenko next spring, but there is apparently some friction between Haney and the promoter of their event, Top Rank.

The sooner, the better, no need to keep waiting. Loma already dusted off the rust and Haney just fought

Didn't Usyk CLAIM he observes fasting for lent (Feb 22-Apr 5)!? so he wouldn't be available for March/April date for Fury so I wouldn't be surprised if Loma is trying to claim that shít too, in which case the May date makes sense (not really).

Haney knew the deal with Top Rank was not great when he signed it.

He's asking to fight as soon as possible, their trying to delay it to benefit Loma, what's your problem? If you want the fight early spring rather than May, he's telling Top Rank to stop stalling.

I’m no ****** but this is a pretty lame comment. It’s December. He’s the undisputed champ and deserves some respect. If he is serious about his religion why wouldn’t his promoter oblige ? Weak sh** from top rank. Not Haney.

“These people want try to push my next fight with Loma to May… knowing the longer I stay at the weight the harder it is to make! Let’s do this **** in March!” Haney wrote.

They did the same thing to Teofimo Lopez! I'm surprised he was able to beat Loma! Stand your ground fam! March, or go to 140 for Teofimo Lopez or JT!
