Kambosos: 'Haney is not boxing's elite'

On June 5, in Melbourne, boxing fans are waiting for a fight for a full set of lightweight championship belts - a fight between the WBC world champion Devin Haney (27-0, 15 KOs) and IBF, WBA and WBO champion George Kambosos (20-0, 10 KOs). The Australian is not a favorite of bookmakers, but he is not going to worry about this and overestimate the class of his opponent.

“I monitor all the strongest opponents, I know how to beat them, and I will continue to do so. I'm not going to disrespect Haney, he's a good boxer. However, he is not an elite, and he learns this in a painful way, ”Kambosos said.

“Haney's nickname is 'Dream', but he will be thrown from heaven to earth. Day by day, step by step, reality will crush him. When he sees the stadium and the opponent in the ring, he will understand that this is not a game, ”added the Australian.

George Kambosos became the author of a real sensation in November last year, overthrowing Teofimo Lopez from the throne, defeating the American by a split decision. Haney, on the other hand, won a unanimous decision last December against former world featherweight champion Joseph Diaz.
