The 135lbs division has delivered a number of blockbuster bouts over the last couple of years and this looks set to be another one, as Lomachenko gets his first chance to win back the belts he lost in 2020 when being shocked by Teofimo Lopez.

Haney has the full set of lightweight titles after two successful trips to Australia last year, beating George Kambosos Jr on points on both occasions to add the WBA, IBF and WBO belts to the WBC strap he has held since 2019.

There has been talk of a potential bout with Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis later this year should the unbeaten Haney extend his professional record to 30-0, or a future showdown with Shakur Stevenson, but there will surely be no looking past Lomachenko, who just a few years ago was widely regarded as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in boxing.

The 35-year-old has three wins since that defeat by Lopez, most recently a points victory over Jamaine Ortiz in October last year, with that coming after Lomachenko turned down a world title shot at Kambosos Jr to stay in Ukraine and join a territorial defence battalion following Russia’s invasion.

“I want to beat him bad. I want to send him into retirement,” Haney has said in the build-up to this bout, possibly his last before making the move to super-lightweight. “Lomachenko has never been an underdog, this is the first time. This time he’s fighting a bigger guy, a strong guy, faster guy, younger guy.”
