Devin Haney has been fined $25,000 following his physical altercation with Vasyl Lomachenko at the weigh-ins ahead of their May fight. The Nevada Athletic Commission imposed the penalty on Tuesday after initially withholding a substantial $400,000 from Haney’s purse. The decision was made after a disciplinary complaint was filed against Haney by the commission.

In line with the adjudication agreement reached, Haney will have to pay the $25,000 fine and prosecution fees of $326. The commission will deduct these sums from the previously held funds, releasing the remainder of $400,000 to Haney. This had constituted 10% of the boxer’s $4 million purse.

Haney did not immediately deny or apologize for his actions. In fact, he boasted that his shove of Lomachenko was just the beginning and prophesied how he would defeat Lomachenko. “That was just the start, you see how easy I pushed him? He’s a smaller man, and I’m going to impose my will on him,” he said. After the physical altercation, Haney went on to win the fight by a unanimous decision.

In conclusion, the Nevada Athletic Commission has imposed a fine of $25,000 on Devin Haney for shoving Vasyl Lomachenko at the weigh-ins ahead of their May fight. After an adjudication agreement was reached, Haney will pay $326 in prosecution fees in addition to the fine. The commission initially withheld $400,000 from his purse, but the remainder will now be released to Haney.
