In the fight for the absolute lightweight title Devin "Dream" Haney (28-0, 15 KOs) won by unanimous decision over George "Fierce" Kambosos Jr. (20-1, 10 KOs) in front of over 40,000 fans at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia.
In fact, the outcome of this technical fight was decided by Haney's sharp and accurate jab, which largely neutralized Kambosos. Judging scores: 116-112, 116-112 and 118-110.
There was a rematch clause in the contract for the fight, so they, most likely, Haney and Kambosos will have another meeting in the autumn in Australia.
Official attendance was 41,129 people. Thus, the fight became the second most attended in the history of modern Australian boxing after the fight between Pacquiao and Horn in 2017. It surpassed Fenech vs. Nelson in 1992 to become the most attended fight in the history of the Australian state of Victoria.
