Kambosos

Unified world lightweight champion George Kambosos has made weight ahead of his fight with Devin Haney, despite missing weight on his first attempt.

"Everything is for a cause. I thought 'nah, let me go make the weight then I'm going to have my Greek coffee'. Everything is for a process. "I knew what I had to do, I made weight, and I'm a true champion. "But I'm a true champion and true champions make weight." "I chilled out, I was about to have a Greek coffee.

Inside the moment of madness that lit the fuse for Kambosos-Haney explosion.

There were no other issues for other fighters throughout the weigh-ins as all made weight and stared one another down ahead of the action to come on Sunday. Kambosos Jr.’s father, Jim, also took umbrage with Haney’s security detail and had to be held back by multiple members of the camp. Crowd members who had managed to find their way into the press area on the floor were also talking smack, with one running down to the front of the stage to give Haney’s camp a piece of his mind as the American’s entourage poked fun at him. Kambosos Jr. had to fully strip down and be surrounded by towels as he attempted to come in under the limit, but it was of little help as he was then given two hours to make weight. He claimed that he “took a piss” to cut the excess weight and branded the whole fiasco as the “art of war”: deception. After a press conference in which George Kambosos Jr. and Devin Haney appeared relatively subdued in the verbal warfare, Saturday’s weigh-in breathed new life into the contest as the Aussie failed to make weight ahead of the unified lightweight championship bout on Sunday.
