As the clock ticks on towards Dec 4, there are sure to be numerous predictions floating about. According to our research and fight knowledge, Devin Haney is an early favorite. Haney’s stiff jab, solid defense, and reach advantage are all key factors that make him the bookies’ pick. Also, he’s the current champ, so he is most likely to be the favorite. 

However, we all know that nothing is for certain in this sport. For this, we only need to look at Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk wherein the British boxer lost, despite being the betting favorite. Moreover, Haney is also the champion and has the experience required to outwit an up-and-coming contender like “Jojo” Diaz. 

Although Diaz boasts a near-perfect 32-1-1- record, his opponent Devin is still undefeated. As such, come Dec 4th, Devin Haney will either make yet another title defense or Joseph Diaz will become the undisputed WBC lightweight champion. As for our prediction, we are going with the bookies’ picks: Devin Haney to win via KO/TKO.
