Devin Haney brands Vasyl Lomachenko a 'f****** sore loser' after he appeals decision and reveals he was fined $400k for pre-fight push

Safe to say Devin Haney is not pleased with Vasyl Lomachenko's team's decision to appeal his victory from Saturday night.

The pair clashed in Las Vegas over the weekend for the undisputed lightweight titles and Haney emerged victorious by unanimous decision.

It was a close fight, but some boxing fans and pundits thought Lomachenko had done enough to win.

The Ukrainian's manager Egis Klimas, who was more outraged than anyone, by the judges' scorecards decided to appeal the decision.

Klimas also revealed on Twitter that he had sent emails to the WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF requesting that Lomachenko be made mandatory challenger to Haney's titles in the hope of forcing a rematch.

The American, however, has not taken kindly to this, saying in response: "This guy is a f****** sore loser...

"Get this privileged sore loser out of boxing, he makes excuses as he goes!

"Take your loss like a man and stop crying... it was set up for you to win for the 3rd time in your career and you failed!

"Tell the commission give me my 400k back for that push!"

This is in reference to the fact that during a face-off pre-fight Haney had shoved Lomachenko and he was subsequently fined $400,000 (around £323,000) by the commission.
