Devin Haney and the WBC\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Devin Haney is one of the dearest fighters I have ever known. Since that day in which Don Majeski brought this 15 year old kid to meet me in Las Vegas we became instant friends even before his professional debut.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Met Haney at age 15<\/strong><\/p>\n

The WBC platform took him under its wing, supporter his several fights as a youngster in Tijuana, conquered the WORLD WBC Youth title, the NABF, International, silver, interim and then WORLD lightweight championship to then become UNDISPUTED.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

WBC set him to directly challenge Regis Prograis in which he conquered the WBC super lightweight.<\/p>\n

Then came the infamous fight against Ryan Garc\u00cca . It is from such that Devin has earned my highest esteem and respect. He showed his professionalism, heart of a warrior and determination.<\/p>\n

Devin faced an opponent who did not make weight and had dramatic weight and size advantage at fight time. Devin was knocked down and battered and he fought back like the champion he is only to find days later that Ryan Garcia failed antidoping tests to PEDs .<\/p>\n

Devin Haney is the current WBC Superlightweight Champion , is the pride of the WBC and a dear personal friend of my brothers, my nephews and my kids.<\/p>\n

He has always been kind, selfless and giving. We have visited together Children\u2019s hospitals, shelters, schools and gymnasiums with humanitarian and social responsibility events, humbling to the heart and mind.<\/p>\n

We look forward to the continuation of a glorious career inside and outside the ring of my dear Devin Haney.<\/p>\n
