June 5 in Melbourne (Australia) American Devin Haney (28-0, 15 KOs) beat the local champion George Kambosos Jr. (20-1, 10 KOs) and became the undisputed lightweight champion.
Despite the fact that the fight turned out to be one-sided, with a high degree of probability there will be a revenge soon – such a clause was spelled out in the contract.
About this and more
says top coach Andre Rozier.
On the rematch with Kambosos: It doesn’t make any sense. As for me, we will see everything the same. For example, I don’t want to look at it again. Moreover, in this division there are many much more spectacular options. At lightweight, matchmakers have plenty of room to roam – there are plenty of potential super duper fights here. This is what you need to strive for, and not these revenges of yours …
On Haney’s potential fight with Gervonta Davis: It would be a very, very strategic, tactical battle. On the one hand, a pronounced pure boxer, and on the other, an incredibly powerful puncher who puts out the light with one blow. As for me, it would be just a great fight. Frankly, I don’t even know who I would bet on. Maybe Davis, because I’m closer to his power.
On Haney’s potential fight with Vassily Lomachenko: Since Devin is now an absolute, he needs to fight everyone. He won the belts, wrote his story, and now it’s time to defend his regalia from the strongest. I think the fight with Lomachenko would also turn out to be a very tactical confrontation. Vasily is a dynamic and bright fighter. He can do things that most people can’t.
To beat Lomachenko, Devin needs to be in top shape. I would even say in top-top shape. After all, this is a real challenge. If I had to choose, then I would give my vote in favor of Haney with a slight advantage, since he is larger. Honestly, I’m saying this. But do not forget that Lomachenko is now just on fire with these belts. Dealing with it will be very problematic.
Yesterday, instead of revenge, Eddie Hearn spoke about the Haney-Lomachenko option. Meanwhile, the champion spoke about cutting weight before the fight with Kambosos.
