WBC king says Venezuelan will bring the best out of him next Saturday<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Devin Haney<\/strong> believes his WBC World Lightweight title defense against Jorge Linares<\/strong> will be a firefight \u2013 and he\u2019s relishing that prospect as they clash at the Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday May 29, live worldwide on DAZN.

Haney <\/strong>(25-0, 18 KOs) puts his title on the line for the third time against the former multiple division world champion, Linares<\/strong> (47-5, 29 KOs), who is looking to regain the green and gold belt he held in 2014-15.
 
\u2018The Dream\u2019 expects the best of the 35 year old and that \u2018El Nino\u2019 has plenty of tools in his shed to call upon, and while that makes him an unpredictable foe, Haney says he is the man that it\u2019s impossible to prepare for thanks to his ability to adapt to any challenge.
 
 \u201cI am expecting a firefight and I can\u2019t wait,\u201d said Haney<\/strong>. \u201cWe don\u2019t know what Jorge will turn up, but I am ready for anything, and I can\u2019t wait to show it.
 
\u201cJorge brings so much to the table. Speed, power, ring IQ, experience against the best of the best, and I think he\u2019s the type of opponent that will bring the best out of me, make me bring out my A-game, take it to the next level, the elite level.
 
\u201cPeople think he will have success, some think he will even win the fight, and that\u2019s why it will show that I am elite and one of the best, if not the best, in the world.
 
\u201cEvery day, my dad and I get to know each other more and more. This camp has been great and we\u2019re both ready for this one night to show everything we have been working on. You can\u2019t train for me, because you don\u2019t know what style I am going to bring. I\u2019ve learned so many different styles and I can adjust, and that\u2019s the difference between me and a lot of other fighters.\u201d
 
 Haney\u2019s clash with Linares tops a stacked card of action in Sin City, as Chantelle Cameron<\/strong> (13-0 7 KOs) will defend her WBC World Super-Lightweight title against Melissa Hernandez<\/strong>  (23-7-3 7 KOs) in more World title action.\u2028 \u2028There\u2019s a fascinating battle between two Golden Boy Promotions stablemates as Jason Quigley<\/strong> (18-1 14 KOs) and Shane Mosley Jr <\/strong>(17-3 10 KOs) go toe-to-toe for the WBO NABO Middleweight title and it\u2019s a huge night for Martin J. Ward<\/strong> (24-1-2 11 KOs) as he faces Azinga Fuzile<\/strong> (14-1 8 KOs) in a final eliminator for the IBF World Super-Featherweight title.

\u2028At the other end of the spectrum, there\u2019s a professional debut on the card for Eddie Hearn\u2019s latest American signing, Khalil Coe<\/strong>, Reshat Mati<\/strong> (9-0 7 KOs) enters double figures in the pro game on the card, Ramla Ali<\/strong> (2-0) has been impressive in her two fights since turning pro in October and the first pro female fighter from Somalia gets an introduction to American fight fans on the bill, a card that is rounded off by Devin Haney Promotions\u2019 Amari Jones <\/strong>(1-0 1 KO) fighting in the paid ranks for the second time after his debut in April.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
