For the second half of training camp I went to the Bay Area where I was training at the SNAC facility with Victor Conte. I got some amazing work out there as well. All in all, it?s been a magnificent training camp. Right now, my body is feeling fantastic and I?m ready to shine on fight night.? On facing his toughest opponent to date, Mason Menard? ?Menard has a lot of power in both hands and he?s fought some very tough opponents. He?s got a lot of experience and is by far my toughest opposition. I?m confident in my ability to come out victorious. On May 11th, everyone will see what all the hype is about. I?m going to bring the heat.? On making his SHOWTIME debut? ?This will be my coming out party. I?m going to show the world that Devin Haney was born for these moments and my talent will be on display come fight night.? On fighting in Philadelphia for the vacant USBA/IBF Lightweight Title ? ?This will be my third time fighting as a professional in Philadelphia. I love the fans out there. I have tons of friends and family in Philly, so I consider Philadelphia a home away from home. The USAB title will be on the line so you already know I?m coming to put on a show. Many great boxers in the past and present have all fought in Philadelphia. I want to follow in their footsteps and become great. I?m making my own history one fight at a time.?  |
