George Kambosos

Top Rank chairman Bob Arum: We are ecstatic to be bringing the undisputed lightweight championship to the beautiful city of Melbourne. George Kambosos Jr.

"He said he would bring the belt, in this case, belts, back to Australia and pack a stadium for his first defense. I'd also like to give a special thanks to the Victorian Government and officials for hosting this event. "Thank you to Lou DiBella, Bob Arum and ESPN for giving us this huge platform and the opportunity of a lifetime. Melbourne has hosted the Olympics, is home to the Australian Open, among other huge events, and Kambosos-Haney will rock Marvel Stadium." "When duty to country made 'Loma' unavailable, George demanded the biggest event possible and greatest challenge in Devin Haney. June 4 will be epic. "I am very excited and hungry to continue building my legacy, and I will be victorious by any means necessary on June 4 when Haney steps up into the lion's den of Marvel Stadium against this Aussie Greek lion.

George Kambosos Jr. proved his world-class credentials by going after the best and not stopping until he secured the fight he wanted.

And so, it proved to be the case. “I have always said I would become world champion the hard way, fighting abroad and then bring back a mega stadium fight to make my world title defense.” “After five years of chasing championship glory abroad and fighting in enemy territory, I return home to defend what I have conquered in the boxing world, my world lightweight titles,” said Kambosos.

The Aussie is looking to become Australia's first undisputed champion in the four-belt era when he takes on 23-year-old WBC champion Haney inside Marvel Stadium ...

“I pretty much just agreed to everything that they wanted, no matter what that was,” Haney went on to say. If Kambosos wins in June, he’ll be free to take on another challenger for his next title defense. That left Haney as the only serious option, paving the way for the winner to be crowned the first undisputed champion at 135-pounds.
