DEVIN HANEY is a new entrant into Ring Magazine’s prestigious pound-for-pound top ten… with only one Brit featuring.
The 24-year-old defended his titles last weekend with a decision victory over Vasiliy Lomachenko.

Haney’s win moved the lightweight champ to 30-0, and elevated him to eighth in Ring Magazine’s list.
Following his defeat, Lomachenko moved down to tenth – with the pair sandwiching Gervonta Davis in ninth.
Tank defeated Ryan Garcia last month, and could take on Haney in what would be a hotly-anticipated match-up.
Further up the list in seventh, Scottish light-welterweight star Josh Taylor is the only Brit in the top ten.
Heavyweights including Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have been snubbed.
AJ’s conqueror Oleksandr Usyk is No1 on the list.
With a fight against Fury having fallen through, Usyk is set to face mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois up next.
Although a date and venue is yet to be confirmed.

Unbeaten Japanese bantamweight Naoya Inoue is second in the standings – with American duo Terence Crawford and Errol Spence third and fourth respectively.
Crawford and Spence are reportedly set to finally meet on July 29 in Las Vegas – with both men to pocket huge eight-figure sums.
Former No1 Canelo Alvarez is down in fifth, meanwhile, with his conqueror at light-heavyweight Dmitry Bivol sixth.
Canelo admitted earlier this month that he is targeting a rematch with the Russian in September.
