We’ve got drama already ahead of the undisputed lightweight title fight in Melbourne.
WBA, IBF, and WBO lightweight champion George Kambosos Jr (20-0, 10 KOs), competing in front of his home fans for the first time since his famous upset of Teofimo Lopez last November, came in .36 lbs over the 135 lbs limit for his unification bout against WBC champion Devin Haney (27-0, 15 KOs).
Kambosos weighed without and with the towel, and he was heavy on his initial attempt. He was given two hours to cut to 135 lbs or else he’d be stripped of his three belts and only Haney would be eligible to win anything tomorrow.
