Devin Haney, a former undisputed lightweight champion from Las Vegas, has been making waves in the boxing world. After relinquishing his titles to move up in weight, Haney made his debut at junior welterweight by defeating Regis Prograis to claim the WBC championship.

With an impressive record of 31-0 (15 KOs), Haney has secured victories over big names such as Vasiliy Lomachenko, George Kambosos Jr. (twice), and Jorge Linares. His next challenge is set for April 20 against Ryan Garcia, a highly anticipated matchup that has fans buzzing.

At 25 years old, Haney stands at 5-foot-8 with an orthodox stance and a reach of 71 inches. His recent success has solidified his status as a star in the boxing world, but now he is eyeing even bigger fights to further cement his legacy.

One of the key questions surrounding Haney is whether moving up in weight class will lead to more success. His victory over Prograis suggests that he is adapting well to the new division and is ready to take on all challengers.

Looking ahead, Haney's unique approach to training and strategy has set him apart from his peers. His upcoming bout against Garcia will be a pivotal moment in his career, as both fighters have a shared past and are now set to determine their future in the ring.

As Haney continues to rack up wins and accolades, the boxing world eagerly awaits his next moves. With all the belts and options available to him, Haney's journey to greatness is just getting started.
