Arum: I would like to see Haney fight Lomachenko, not again with Kambosos

George Kambosos (20-1, 10 KOs) has the right to a rematch, but promoter Bob Arum does not hide that now he would like to put up against the undisputed lightweight champion Devina Haney (28-0, 15 KOs) Vasily Lomachenko (16-2, 11 KOs).

ā€œI am ready to fight Lomachenko. I am ready to fight with everyone, I am a real fighter,ā€ said the new WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO champion at 61.2 kg after his triumph in Australia.

The champion and the head of Top Rank have options, but after a rather boring duel on Sunday morning, it will be difficult to return 40,000 fans to the stands. Recently, a young American signed a contract for joint promotion with Lou DiBella and Arum himself.

ā€œThese rematch clauses are ruining boxing. I understand the position of boxers and promoters, this is part of the business, but it harms this sport. Now I would rather see Haney vs Lomachenko than fight Kambosos again,ā€ Arum admitted.

A Ukrainian can count on the favor of a promoter, but he must also decide on his own future. Because he still remains in his homeland, where the military occupation of Russia continues.
