Undisputed lightweight champion Devin Haney has confirmed a December 19 title unification fight against IBF super lightweight titleholder Liam Paro. Speaking to reporters, Haney stated "my resume speaks for itself" as he prepares to move up in weight for the showdown.
The bout would see Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) challenge for Paro's IBF 140-pound title in what represents a significant step up in class for the American star. Paro (24-0, 15 KOs) captured the IBF belt with a victory over Subriel Matias earlier this year.
Negotiations for the December 19 date have been finalized, with the venue and broadcast details expected to be announced in the coming weeks. The fight pits two undefeated champions against each other in a genuine unification clash at super lightweight.
