Undisputed lightweight champion of the world Devin Haney believes the upcoming rematch between him and George Kambosos will be the last one in the Aussie’s career.
Haney defeated Kambosos in their first encounter this past summer, claiming the undisputed throne. Now, 4 months later, both guys will fight once again in Kambosos’ back yard Melbourne, Australia on October 15.
Haney, 23, says he can’t wait to show the fans the improvements in his game from the first fight with Kambosos last June. He’s been working on power, and he wants to try it out on his test subject Kambosos.
“I’m ready to go; I can’t wait. I’m excited about it,” said Devin Haney to the media on Wednesday about his fight against George Kambosos Jr on Saturday.
“Yeah, I’ll defend my belts at home after this, but it all starts on Sunday, October 16th, where it all counts. I’m going to be victorious, and we’ll go from there.
“I’m happy to be back in Melbourne. Melbourne is another home for me. I’m much more powerful this time around than I was the first time.
“This time around, he’s much more humble. He tasted some humble pie, and after this, I’m sending him into retirement. I will show the difference between the first fight to the second fight and how much I improved and got better. I can’t wait.
“I love Melbourne. After I’m victorious, I’ll come back again to fight here. A different venue, the same outcome,” said Haney.
