George Kambosos Jr. vs. Devin Haney
Kambosos Jr. said this to the media about his upcoming fight, “Whatever they bring to the table, it’s not going to be enough. Devin Haney, once he feels the power, he likes to run. So, he’ll definitely be running. I’ve been going to the athletic track, looking for sprinters and runners, cross country runners, sparring partners. It’s going to cost me too much to bring these guys, and the insurance isn’t high enough for me. June 5th, I’ll do the business. I’ll let him run and cut him down & drown him.”
Haney said this to the media about his upcoming fight, “I didn’t only sign up for one fight. I signed up for two fights, so that’s how much I trust in my talent. I trust in my skills, and I know that if I can beat him once, I can beat him twice in his own back in his own country in his own land, and that’s what I’m going to do. I don’t think the fight will be that close, honestly. I feel I’m on a whole different level. My skillset is just different. We’re not looking for a close fight. We’re prepared for anything he brings to the table. I just feel that my skills are on a whole different level. So I’m not really worried about that,” said Haney about him not being concerned about being robbed.”
