Haney and the WBC<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Don’t miss Haney vs Garc\u00eda through www.DAZN.com\/WBC<\/a><\/p>\n

The World Boxing Council super lightweight champion Devin Haney has an undefeated record of 31 victories with 15 KO’s and is one of the finest \u00a0pound-for-pound fighters per round, around.<\/p>\n

Aged twenty five, Devin has defeated Jorge Linares, Yuriorkis Gamboa, Joseph Diaz, George Kambosos, Regis Prograis and Vasyl Lomachenko.<\/p>\n

Despite his still relative youth, \u00a0Devin’s destiny plus history has been linked to boxing and the WBC from an early age; Below we remember some of his great feats\/fights.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Devin moved to Las Vegas with his father when he was a child. The first time he entered a gym was when he was seven years old. His father took him after a dust up at school and told him that there he would find more boys who wanted to fight. He still did not imagine that he was at the dawn of becoming a future world champion.<\/p>\n

During his time as amateur Devin won 7 national championships in the United States and built a formidable record of 130-8, becoming the youngest boxer to win the World Youth Championship in Nevada.<\/p>\n

Devin debuted as pro in a rather peculiar way , since his work team decided that he had to shape his career fighting in Mexico, as the State of California denied him the license at 17 years old. So\u2026he got to work in Tijuana.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On March 4, 2017, Devin reached and surpassed his first goal, by winning the WBC youth title defeating the Mexican Maximino Toala by knockout in the fourth round, in a performance which clearly demonstrated his great potential.<\/p>\n

On May 25, 2019 he won the WBC International title by defeating the previously unbeaten Xolisani Ndongeni of South Africa, in a bout which \u00a0he dominated.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Devin \u00a0won the WBC lightweight world title over Zaur Abdullaev in September 2019. He defended the Green and Gold Belt four times. Then he captured the other championships by defeating George Kambosos.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After defending his crown on two occasions, against Kambosos in a rematch and then \u00a0against \u00a0Lomachenko, he decided to move up to the super lightweight division to defeat the then monarch Regis Prograis by a wide margin.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Today, being a two-time world champion, he finds himself on the verge of a great battle against Ryan Garcia, a rival whom he already faced 6 times as an amateur. So, \u00a0pro pristine plaudits are at stake.<\/p>\n

The boxing family is eager and willing to witness what promises to be one of the most brilliant fights of the year.<\/p>\n
