Bob Arum wants Vasyl Lomachenko to fight Devin Haney for the undisputed championship in 2023

Vasyl Lomachenko should fight Devin Haney next if they win both their respective fights.

That is the view of legendary boxing promoter Bob Arum who just so happens to represent both men.

Haney, 23, rematches George Kambosos Jr on October 15, while Lomachenko, 34, returns to the ring two weeks later when he faces Jamaine Ortiz in New York.

Following the official announcements of their upcoming bouts, which came within a couple of days of each other, talk has turned to when they will actually fight each other.

“Vasiliy will be in action a week or two weeks later, hopefully in Madison Square Garden in New York, where we’ll do a big salute to the Ukrainian people. He’ll be fighting Jamaine Ortiz, who is a good, tough lightweight.

“If he [Lomachenko] is successful in that, then at the start of the year we’ll do what will be a massive fight – Lomachenko attempting to get all his titles back against Devin Haney.”
