George Kambosos has promised to expose Devin Haney when they meet for the undisputed lightweight title at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on June 5th.
The Aussie even suggested Haney’s corner be ready to throw in the towel for their fighter, such will be the dominance of the performance.
Haney, 23, looks like being without his usual cornerman after father and lead trainer Bill failed to get approval to travel to Australia on account of a 1992 drug conviction.
Yoel Judah – the father of two-weight world champion Zab Judah – is set to accompany the American WBC champion on fight night.

“Many holes - the holes are so evident. This guy is really an average fighter. Nothing special,” he said.
“He's been given a belt, he's been given these opportunities.
“If you break it down, his first 20 flights were all in Mexico against cab drivers. I could have fought them all in one night and had that extra 20 [wins] on my record. Read More…
