Jorge Linares warns Devin Haney: You have never faced someone like me
"I think he will run all night, but I will be waiting for him, I will follow him."
Jorge Linares has warned Devin Haney that he is stepping up to a whole new level as he prepares to challenge the WBC world lightweight champion on Saturday May 29.
It takes place at the Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, NV, live worldwide on DAZN, in association with Golden Boy Promotions.
The 22 year old champion has admitted that the Venezuelan star is the toughest fight of his career and has vowed to prove that he's the man to beat at 135lbs.
However, Linares believes that he has the goods to end the rising star's title reign and return to the summit on Saturday.
Linares' clash with Haney tops a stacked card of action in Sin City, as Chantelle Cameron will defend her WBC world super lightweight title against Melissa Hernandez in more World title action.
There's a fascinating battle between two Golden Boy Promotions stablemates as Jason Quigley and Shane Mosley Jr go toe-to-toe for the WBO NABO Middleweight title.
It's also a huge night for Martin J. Ward as he faces Azinga Fuzile in a final eliminator for the IBF world super featherweight title.
Ramla Ali 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.
It is a card that is rounded off by Devin Haney Promotions' Amari Jones fighting in the paid ranks for the second time after his debut in April.
