Devin Haney, based in Las Vegas, holds the WBO welterweight championship. He earned the WBC title during his junior welterweight debut by defeating Regis Prograis. Although he initially lost to Ryan Garcia in April, that decision was overturned to a no contest after Garcia tested positive for the banned substance ostarine, resulting in a one-year suspension by the New York State Athletic Commission. Haney also boasts significant victories over notable fighters such as Vasily Lomachenko, George Kambosos Jr. (twice), and Jorge Linares.
His next fight is yet to be determined. Haney’s record stands at 33 wins, 0 losses, and 1 no contest, with 15 wins by knockout. Born on November 17, 1998, the 27-year-old orthodox boxer is 5 feet 8 inches tall with a 71-inch reach.
