Devin Haney is an American professional boxer who has held the WBC lightweight title since 2019. As of June 2021, he is ranked as the world’s fourth best active lightweight by The Ring magazine.
As an amateur, Haney won seven National titles. In January 2015, aged 17, he became the youngest boxer to win the Youth World Championships in Reno. He had an amateur record of 138–8 bouts before turning professional in 2015 at the age of 17. Out of those eight losses, two are from his now rival Ryan Garcia in the amateurs the two have fought four times, both having won twice.
In April 2019, Haney signed a co-promotional deal between his own company, Devin Haney Promotions, and British promoter Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing. On May 25, 2019, Haney defeated Antonio Moran via a vicious seventh-round knockout, in his first match under the Matchroom banner.
On September 13, 2019, Haney defeated Zaur Abdullaev (11–0) to win the vacant WBC interim lightweight title.
In October 2019, Haney became the youngest (i.e. latest-born) world champion in boxing when he was elevated as the WBC lightweight champion after previous WBC lightweight champion Vasiliy Lomachenko was promoted to “Franchise Champion” by the WBC.
Haney was born in San Francisco and lived in Oakland, California as a child, but moved with his father Bill to Las Vegas. He started boxing at the age of seven. He converted to Islam in April 2021.

Years in the making, the biggest fight ever in women’s boxing between the pound-for-pound #1 and #2 fighters of the world is one that will not only make boxing history, but women’s sports history. MSG has hosted thousands of fights through its illustrious years, beginning more than a century ago on July 17, 1882; now, 140 years later, this matchup finally marks the very first time two female fighters are headlining a combat sports event at ‘The World’s Most Famous Arena‘.
Irish icon Taylor (20-0 6 KOs) puts all the Lightweight belts on the line for the sixth time since winning them in June 2019 in a war with Delfine Persoon and seeing off the Belgian in a rematch in England before repelling the challenges of Miriam Gutierrez, Natasha Jonas, Jennifer Han and Firuza Sharipova – and there’s added spice to the fight as Taylor holds a win over Amanda’s sister Cindy in Boston back in October 2018.
Puerto Rican sensation Serrano (42-1-1 30 KOs) already has an unrivalled legacy in the sport as a seven-weight World champion. The Brooklyn based champion enters the momentous bout in sparkling form after knocking out Daniela Bermudez last March, dominating Yamileth Mercado in August and overpowering Miriam Gutierrez in two separate cards co-starring Jake Paul. Amanda was the 2021 Female Fighter of the Year for DAZN, ESPN and WBC among others.
Taylor and Serrano came face-to-face at MSG today for the first time since the fight was announced.
This is a Fifty, fifty fight both have a tough task ahead of their selves, and it’s hard to make a prediction.
Whoever wins will become the Greatest woman fighter on the planet, and the pound for pound woman fighter also known as Greatest Woman of All Time. (GWOAT).

Celebrating Innovation, Empathy & Excellence among the Retail Solution Provider Community
The Vendors in Partnership (VIP) Awards are an industry celebration for the solution providers that are powering the retail ecosystem.
In addition to celebrating great solutions, the companies that are recognized are those that are willing to make changes that are meaningful in creating a better partnership with the retailers, increasing the success of all.
Vendors in Partnership is a new awards program created to recognize innovative retail solutions providers. Vicki Cantrell, the co-founder of the VIP Awards, told TotalRetail that she helped launch this awards program to recognize solutions providers that “help keep retail evolving, exciting and engaging for customers and industry professionals alike.”
“So many solution providers that support the retail industry not only understand the value of long-term relationships, they consider it part of their mission,” Cantrell said.
“We need to reward those companies, and demonstrate that this is the best future success measure for others that are still struggling to break out of the transactional mind-set.”
I was thrilled to learn that Phil [co-founder of the VIP Awards and founder and CEO of Retail Global Events and the Retail Orphan Initiative (Australia) Ltd.] and Vicki were bringing the Vendors in Partnership Awards to life because the retail industry at large has needed something like this for a long time.
There are so many valuable service providers, experiences, industry leaders and more that help keep retail evolving, exciting and engaging for customers and industry professionals alike to enjoy. Keeping this in mind, the VIP Awards are a fantastic way to bring recognition and respect to the those leading the way in helping to shape both the current landscape and future of retail.
World Liberty TV, was making its 16th Appearance at National Retail Federation (NRF), and covering the Vendors in Partnership (VIP Awards) for the first time. See exclusive interview with Vicki Cantrell, the co-founder of the VIP Awards in our World Liberty TV, Business Channels by clicking here.
