Despite his normally cheerful demeanor, Devin Haney will become enraged whenever Teofimo Lopez or now, George Kambosos Jr., screams and screams to the world that they really are a cynic undisputed enemy.
With the 23-year-old proudly holding his WBC lightweight belt, he has stated time and time again, that until he is defeated in the ring, undisputed claims are made. previous access is invalid.
Now, on June 5, in Melbourne Australia, the confusion surrounding the division of £135 will be cleared up in no time.
As first reported by BoxingScene.com, Haney has verbally agreed to terms to take on the current unified lightweight champion, George Kambosos Jr.
For Kambosos Jr., sharing the ring with Haney was never part of his immediate plans. Since scoring a surprise goal against Teofimo Lopez in November 2021, the all-around Australian boxer has become flooded with options for his next ring appearance. Despite carefully sifting through each name given to him, Kambosos Jr. landed on Vasiliy Lomachenko.
While Lomachenko felt satisfied with his choice, he ultimately decided not to accept Kambosos Jr. upon his offer, choosing instead to stay in his native Ukraine as he aided his countrymen in his war against Russia.
In the end, while Haney has a single fun he craves more than anything, he’s forced to accept several demands from Kambosos Jr., including an immediate rematch clause that would force Haney must face him again in Australia, if Haney, of course, decides to stay in the lightweight division.
If Haney beats Kambosos Jr in consecutive matches, the newly crowned player will likely face Lomachenko in an ESPN pay-per-view event.
With the ongoing confusion surrounding the lightweight division, Haney will finally get a chance to prove that he really is the best 135 pounder in the world. Although the contracts are yet to be officially signed, around this week a press person introduced to announce their contest slated to take place.
