The absolute lightweight champion Australian George Kambosos Jr. (20-0, 10 KOs) and the owner of the WBC belt (the boxer from Australia has the WBC Franchise title) American Devin Haney (27-0, 15 KOs) grappled hard on
press conferences – June 5 in Melbourne (Australia) they will meet in a full-time fight.
Kambosos began to troll his opponent, calling him his mandatory challenger. Haney, of course, had to answer. Both mentioned the ex-leader of the Ukrainian division Vasily Lomachenko.
Kambosos: I choose only the biggest fights. That’s the reason I fought Teofimo Lopez. This is the reason why I wanted to fight Lomachenko. Everything was on the ointment, but the war prevented (criminal Russian invasion of the territory of independent Ukraine). And only when the fight with Lomachenko broke down, we turned to Devin. He agreed, but did he have any other choice? You’re not my mandatory applicant… Or is it mandatory?
Haney: Everything was wrong. The Australian government was ready to allocate money only for your fight against me or Lomachenko.
Kambosos: They were ready to allocate money only for Lomachenko.
Haney: But when Loma became unavailable, you had to turn to me.
Kambosos: Not properly! I could have a fight with anyone – even with a taxi driver or a garbage man. But I chose you. I repeat, are you my mandatory challenger? If not, then I chose you and nothing else.
Haney: When will all this bullshit end? Stop playing. Dude, be yourself…
Kambosos: I’m always like this.
Haney: You’re an actor.
Kambosos: Was the press conference before the fight with Lopez different from this one? But OK. Better to be an actor than a rat. You almost got killed by pensioner Jorge Linares. You swept away a petty fighter two categories below Joseph Diaz. You are an ordinary runner with huge gaping holes in your defense. When I remember your fight with Diaz… Damn, I was watching from ringside. Dude, get it! It’s unwatchable. It’s like taking sleeping pills…
During the event, Kambosos said: “Haney is a pathetic rat and snitch. He leaked Lopez to me.” In the meantime, it became known that Devin achieved his goal – the fight with George will be served by “neutral” judges. The American promised to “show Kambosos his holes.”
