Via Sean Jones: Undisputed lightweight champion Devin Haney vows to beat the ultra-confident former unified champion George Kambosos Jr that he won’t soon forget in their rematch on October 16 at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia.
Haney (28-0, 15 KOs) feels that Kambosos remains in denial about his one-sided loss last June in Melbourne.
It could be because Kambosos fans blow smoke from his back, telling him how great he is, or he could be one of those rare types. can never admit a defeat unless he’s taken down.
To be sure, Haney doesn’t have the power to take out Kambosos with a single punch, but if he beats him repeatedly on October 16, he can get the job done.
If nothing else, Kambosos or his corner will wave the white flag of surrender to signal that they want mercy from Devin.
“He denies his failure. He has people around him who won’t say he’s completely superior; he’s the better man and beats you from pillar to post,” Devin Haney told AKH when TV about George Kambosos not accepting his loss.
“I don’t care if he admits it or not. I walked out with the belt in his hometown. If we do it again, it will be worse. I don’t know if there’s no connection, but like I said, I want to fight anyone. It’s not important. I will fight him in October,” Haney said when asked if he would like to fight Vasyl Lomachenko in October.
“I get nothing but respect for Loma, his country, and what he did for his country, his family. If we meet in the ring, we will meet in the ring. If not, we don’t. I want to fight with the best fighters. These people should call me now because I’m the one with all the hardware.
“It doesn’t really seem that way. I am still a hunter, which I have no problem with. I’ve been doing that my whole career now. I went hunting, and I had no problem continuing to hunt, knowing I had everything.
“Of course it is,” Haney said when asked if he would join the October battle of Lomachennko if it was recommended to him.
