DEVIN HANEY TRAINING CAMP QUOTES PhilBoxing.com Sat, 07 Sep 2019  LAS VEGAS (September 6, 2019) - Rising star and undefeated lightweight contender, Devin "The Dream" Haney (22-0, 14 KOs), has wrapped up training camp for his upcoming showdown with Zaur Abdullaev (11-0, 7 KOs). Haney vs. Abdullaev, promoted by Matchroom Boxing and Devin Haney Promotions, will be a 12-round main event bout for the WBC interim lightweight championship on Friday September 13 at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York, live on DAZN in the US and on Sky Sports in the UK. Haney, who will be making his first appearance at "The Mecca of Boxing" - Madison Square Garden, will look to make it a memorable one as he has plans to take over the lightweight division. TICKETS START AT JUST $30 (PLUS FEES) AND ARE AVAILABLE FROM TICKETMASTER HERE Here is what Haney had to say about the upcoming fight: On his upcoming fight against Zaur Abdullaev: "I know Abdullaev is focused, he's been at the top of the rankings for a while now, so I know he's ready to fight. He's an undefeated fighter, who has beaten some quality opposition, so I take him very seriously. I'm just very excited to face Abdullaev because it will show the world my skills and why I am the new face of the sport." On his recent training camp: "Training camp has been great. We started strength and conditioning with Coach Reggie at Phase 1. I really got stronger and I can feel the difference. I spent the next portion of camp at the SNAC System facility in the Bay Area working with Victor Conte. There I worked on my speed and explosiveness with well renowned track coach Remi Korchemny. I've had a world class training camp, with everything from strength and conditioning, to tremendous sparring, included with a lot of rest and recovery. This will be another memorable performance like my last fight on DAZN." On fighting for the WBC interim lightweight title: "The WBC Interim World Championship means a lot to me. Some people kept labeling me a prospect when I knew I was so much more. Being able to fight for an Interim World Title means everything. This not only makes me the WBC mandatory for Vasiliy Lomacheno, but I'm able to do Interim Title defenses, until Loma is ready to fight. I believe the winner of Haney vs Abdullaev is in a really good position with the WBC." On headlining at Madison Square Garden on DAZN? "This is something I've always dreamed about for sure. MSG is the most historic and iconic arena in all of sports. I'm headlining a card full of great fights. Heather Hardy (22-0) vs Amanda Serrano (36-1) for the WBO World Female Featherweight Title will be a very exciting fight. My good friend from Las Vegas, Michael Hunter (17-1) vs Sergey Kuzmin (15-0) will be a terrific fight as well. There are only two losses between all six of the fighters on the main card. This is my first time at the Hulu Theater, and I'm going to put on a helluva show. Everyone should get their tickets now, because it's going to be a great night of boxing and entertainment."  |
