Haney’s Mind Games Get Lomachenko To React – ‘All Of Your Fights Are Dirty’
Devin Haney and Vasiliy Lomachenko exchanged verbal jabs as they arrived at the MGM Grand for their fight arrivals.
The pair get ready to face each other on May 20th, 2023, for the undisputed lightweight titles as Haney puts his undefeated record on the line.
The latter has made it clear that he is looking to put on a dominant display, going so far as to state that he wants to send Lomachenko into retirement.
And that bad blood only continued as they exchanged some verbals. Haney, whose record of 29 wins and 15 knockouts, branded Lomachenko a ‘dirty’ fighter.
The Ukrainian did his best to laugh off the jibe, but it was clear that it affected the star, given his need to respond.

Haney: “We know what he wants to do on the inside. He wants to make it a dirty fight. Slip the jab.”
Lomachenko: “Where did you see a dirty fight during my career?”
Haney: “You know that’s your best bet against me. All of your fights are dirty, Commey. Punching on the inside.”

We know Haney’s game plan- to clinch inside as much as possible.
