Devin Haney: I'm the best in the world and will show it against Jorge Linares

Haney (25-0, 18 KOs) puts his title on the line for the third time against the former multiple division world champion, Linares (47-5, 29 KOs).
'The Dream', who is entering the last week of training camp, talks about his matchup with Linares, what a win will do for his career, fighting at home, and much more.
"It's been a great eight-week camp. I started in Las Vegas, got some light sparring, then traveled to the Bay Area.

"I'm ready! The world will see, I'm the best fighter on the planet. Linares is a great fighter that has a lot left in the tank. He has held multiple world championships in three weight classes and he's by far the biggest step up in my career.

"My skills are on another level and I will make the necessary adjustments, wear him down and completely dominate this fight," Haney continued.
"This is the biggest fight of my career. A victory against Linares should gain me a lot of respect.

"Everyone knows that Linares is a dangerous fighter and winning this fight gives more reasons to all of the writers, fans, and boxing insiders, to campaign the unification fight with Teofimo López, or at the very least, a world title defense against Ryan Garcia. I'm putting the pressure on them.
"Las Vegas is where I currently reside. I'm thrilled to have an opportunity to fight in front of my family and friends.

"Las Vegas is the mecca of boxing's biggest shows and for me this is just the beginning. Now that COVID restrictions are loosening, I'm encouraging all the fans from around the world to come out and enjoy a great night of boxing. It's going to be fireworks."
