THE LOWDOWN

Devin Haney (26-0) will step back into the ring for his second bout of 2021 as he takes on Joseph Diaz Jr.. Haney will defend his WBC lightweight world title against a dangerous opponent but he has looked solid in his last three outings and will look to build on his recent efforts. All three of those victories came via the scorecards with the judges handing out unanimous decision verdicts in each and that could be the case once again.

Joseph Diaz Jr. (32-1-1) bounced back from his draw with Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov by seeing off Javier Fortuna to claim the WBC interim lightweight world title and now he will get the chance to fight for the real thing. Diaz has only failed to win two of his 34 fights to date but this will be a very tough task against a classy opponent and he will have to be at his best to compete with Haney.

THE PREDICTION

Devin Haney can further enhance his reputation by defending his WBC lightweight world crown as he takes on Joseph Diaz Jr.. Haney is a superb operator and is capable of dominating fights and he will be confident of dismantling Diaz here. Both men are capable of winning but Haney looks a class above and having won his last three fights via the judges, that can be the case once again with another unanimous decision likely to be the outcome.
