Except for Devin Haney’s WBC title, this fight will have all the lightweight titles on the line, making it a momentous unified lightweight bout. But, the challenger Kambosos Jr. believes this fight should be for the undisputed championship. This is because he feels the WBC champ, Haney, never truly fought for his belt, and hence, he doesn’t deserve the champ status.

Speaking to Fight Hub TV, he said, “Now Devin Haney never fought for the title. Never won the belt properly. He was an interim champion or a super whatever he was a super champion, and all of a sudden, he got an email, or Gmail or yahoo mail whatever you want to call it and he became a world champion.”

“If that was me, I would have said listen, I’m putting the email in junk and spam and I ain’t accepting that I’m sending it back because I like to earn things.”

‘Ferocious’ has hung around the lightweight division for a while now, but he principally stayed out of the limelight. A fight against Lopez will definitely be his biggest bout to date, and he’s supremely keen on maximizing his returns when he steps into the limelight.
