Haney VS Abdullaev seeking the Absolute Big Time

WBC International champion, American Devin Haney, will face WBC Silver champion, Russian Zaur Abdullaev, in a final elimination, for the right to dispute the lightweight title of the World Boxing Council.

This event will be  Friday, September 13 at the Hulu Theater of  Madison Square Garden in New York, with live broadcast on DAZN and Sky Sports.

Haney (22-0 14 KOs) made an electrifying debut with Matchroom Boxing USA and DAZN in May, defeating Mexican Antonio Moran with a stunning  knockout in the seventh round.

Haney, a Las Vegas resident and ranked 2 on the WBC lists, will fight for the first time in New York.

For his part, Abdullaev (11-0 7 KOs), number 4 in the WBC rankings, won the Silver crown in his ninth professional fight in April 2018. This will be his first fight outside his homeland.

The winner of this attractive match must then face the winner of the thriller  between Vasiliy Lomachenko and Luke Campbell.
