Devin Haney: Weigh in| Vs jojo diaz date| When is the fight
Weigh in:
Over the past 18 months, all of his fights have been different from originally advertised. So he didn’t mind when Devin Haney, the WBC lightweight champion, was ready to step in for the injured Ryan Garcia to fight him Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden.
“I’ve paid all my dues my entire career, fighting the best opponents possible,” Diaz said. “I’m ready for this moment.”
Diaz has been on a career roller coaster since his biggest moment as a pro, when he survived a horrible cut to outpoint Tevin Farmer and win a 130-pound world title in January 2020.
Vs Jojo Diaz date:
- Date: Saturday, December 4th
- Main card: 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET / 1 a.m. GMT
- Main event ringwalks (approx): 8:15 p.m. PT 11:15 p.m. ET / 4:15 a.m. GMT
The main card is set to get underway at 5pm local time in Las Vegas, with the main event ringwalks at approximately 8:15 p.m. on the Vegas strip. As always with live fight cards, these timings are subject to change due to the length of the undercard bouts.
When is the fight:
The lightweight division was shaken up after George Kambosos Jr. beat Teofimo Lopez to claim the WBA, WBO and IBF titles, and now all eyes focus on Las Vegas where WBC champion Devin Haney takes on mandatory challenger Joseph ‘Jo Jo’ Diaz Jr.
Haney will be looking to make a statement this coming Saturday as he looks to secure a fight with Kambosos Jr., who is planning to be ringside, and crown an undisputed champion at 135lbs at some point in 2022.
