Devin Haney dethrones George Kambosos to become undisputed lightweight champion

Devin Haney became the undisputed lightweight champion on Sunday afternoon at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia, with a unanimous-decision victory over George Kambosos on ESPN.

Haney (28-0, 15 KOs) used his excellent jab to dictate the pace en route to the win via scores of 116-112, 118-110 and 116-112. Now, the 23-year-old from Las Vegas owns all four 135-pound titles after the dominant performance against ESPN's No. 1 lightweight.

Kambosos, a 28-year-old from Sydney, Australia, can choose to exercise his contractual right to an immediate rematch with Haney later this year in Australia.

Kambosos (20-1, 10 KOs) won the titles in November when he dethroned Teofimo Lopez in ESPN's Upset of the Year.
