WBC Lightweight champion Devin Haney had successful Shoulder Surgery and is due back sometime this Summer, according to Dan Rafael of espn.com.
“My shoulder is good, it’s healing up,” Haney said from Miami, where he was doing media rounds along the Super Bowl’s radio row with plans to attend the fight card being put on there Thursday night by Matchroom Boxing, his promoter. “I started my physical therapy. Pretty soon I’ll be back in the ring, late June or early July.”
“There are so many big fights at 135 [pounds],” Haney said. “It would be kind of foolish to move up and skip these fights. There are bigger fights for me at 135 than at 140, so I want to come back at 135. But if I can’t get these fights at 135, then I will go up to 140. We’ll have to see.”
