Haney vs. Ramirez: Which Weight Class Will They Fight In?

The showdown between former world champion Jose Carlos Ramirez and WBC junior welterweight champion-in-recess Devin Haney is set to take place on May 2 in Times Square, New York.

Reports indicate that two weight options are being considered for the fight:

– Welterweight (66.7 kg / 147 lbs)

– Catchweight (65.3 kg / 144 lbs)

However, a junior welterweight (63.5 kg / 140 lbs) bout is not an option.

According to journalist Keith Idec, welterweight is the most likely choice for this matchup.

This bout will mark both fighters’ debut in a new weight division.
