“I was comfortable in the ring,” said Devin Haney after becoming the undisputed lightweight champion by defeating the reigning champion George Kambosos. — I just stuck to the plan for the fight. The plan was to get in the ring and hit, not get hit, and I did that for most of the fight. I slowed down in the last round just because I knew I had a solid lead, but I had a good, smart fight."
“I deprived him of his main advantage. He wanted to apply the right one through his hand, and he wanted to apply an accentuated left side. But I didn't let him do it. I went in different directions. As I walked to the left, I followed his right hand. When I went to the right - behind his left hook. And he couldn't hit me with any of them."
“I take my hat off to him because he is a true warrior. I respect anyone who enters the ring. I had only respect for him during the whole time before the fight. Despite the fact that he showed disrespect, I remained a gentleman. I remained professional."
“I want to thank George Kambosos and all of Australia for taking on this fight. Thank you George for giving me a chance. All these so-called champions didn't give me a chance. But George was a real champion and he gave me a chance. Thank him for this."
“If revenge is to happen, if Allah wants it to happen, I will return,” Haney said.
