Haney said this to the media about his upcoming fight against Kambosos Jr., “Obviously, he’s going to come in with a better game plan, so I’m going to need to be better than I was last time. Life hasn’t changed. Of course, I have the belts. It’s obvious. I worked hard for it, and I knew the time would come, so nothing has changed,” Haney stated. “It’s still the same. It’s still tunnel vision. Now it’s time to defend and come out victorious. I knew if I stuck to the game plan and worked on the things that worked on in the gym, the fight would be easy,” said Haney about his victory over former unified 135-lb champion Kambosos Jr. last June. I can’t say what he can do differently because I have all the answers for anything he brings to the table. We’ve been studying him like crazy. We know what he does. We know the mistakes that he makes and the habits that he has. We know the things that he does good as well. So we’re prepared for anything he brings.”
