Two-time Olympic gold medalist and three-division champion Vasiliy Lomachenko looks to reclaim his spot atop the pound-for-pound list this evening (Sat., May 20, 2023) when he battles undisputed Lightweight champion, Devin Haney, in the hallowed halls of MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
MMAmania.com will deliver LIVE coverage of the Haney vs. Lomachenko main event below. The ESPN+ “Prelims” begin at 6 p.m. ET, continue both there and on ESPN at 8 p.m. ET, then transition to ESPN+ PPV at 10 p.m. ET. Haney and Lomachenko are expected to make the walk closer to midnight.
Haney — once derided as an “email champion” after WBC’s Byzantine title process elevated him from “interim” to “world” champion — secured his place among the elite with back-to-back victories over unified titlist, George Kambosos Jr. Lomachenko, for his part, is perfect (3-0) since a shock upset loss to Teofimo Lopez knocked him from his perch, but has a lot to prove after a rough performance against Jamaine Ortiz in Oct. 2022.
ESPN+’s three-fight pay-per-view (PPV) card also sees former two-division champion Oscar Valdez rematch all-action Adam Lopez and rising prospect, Raymond Muaratalla, square off with surging veteran, Jeremia Nakathila.
