Jean-Claude Van Damme called the result of the Haney – Lomachenko fight unfair

May 23, 2023

Last Sunday, American boxer Devin Haney defeated Ukrainian Vasily Lomachenko in a unanimous decision title fight.

Many pundits and athletes criticized the judges, saying the American didn’t deserve to win.

I share this opinion and the famous actor, as well as the ex-world champion of karate and kickboxing Jean-Claude Van Damme.

“In this fight, everything was very simple and clear. Haney lost, Lomachenko won. I know martial arts well and watched that fight. Haney definitely lost. So, I consider the outcome of the encounter unfair,” the artist said.

According to him, the only reason that led Haney to victory is the fact that he is an American boxer, and only American referees judged the fight.
