WBC lightweight champion Devin Haney returns to the ring on Saturday night for what is expected to be the toughest test of his career. Haney will defend his belt against former super featherweight world champion Joseph "JoJo" Diaz Jr. at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas (8 p.m. ET on DAZN -- subscribe now).
Haney (26-0, 15 KO) has successfully defended his championship three times, most recently beating Jorge Linares in a bout that saw Haney easily winning until he was badly hurt late in the fight. Diaz (32-1-1, 15 KO) moved to the lightweight division after losing his IBF super featherweight title on the scales, failing to make weight for his first title defense against Shavkat Rakhimov, a fight that eventually ended in a majority draw. Diaz defeated Javier Fortuna in his July debut in the division, winning the WBC interim lightweight championship.
One other championship fight is set for the card, with Jessica McCaskill defending the undisputed women's welterweight titles against late replacement Kandi Wyatt.
CBS Sports will be with you throughout the entire way on Saturday for both events, so be sure to follow along with the live results and highlights below.
