Devin Haney will face the biggest test of his career on May 29 in Las Vegas.
The lightweight contender, who is only 22, is scheduled to fight former three-division titleholder Jorge Linares at the Michelob Ultra Arena at the Mandalay Bay Hotel.
Haney (25-0, 15 KOs) is coming off a unanimous-decision victory over Yuriorkis Gamboa this past November.
Linares (47-5, 29 KOs) has won two consecutive fights at 135 pounds since he moved up to 140 and was stopped in one round by Pablo Cesar Cano in January 2019. The 35-year-old last fought in February of last year, when he stopped Carlos Morales in four rounds.
In this episode of The Ak & Barak Show, DAZN commentators Akin Reyes and Barak Bess discuss the Haney-Linares matchup.
