ESPN Ringside combined the tweets between two Australian combat sports stars and shared them on Twitter.

At first, ‘The Emperor’ shared his picture on Twitter with a message. That says, “Victory by any means.” It displayed Kambosos engaged in a shadowboxing.

To which Volkanovaski replied, “Go get it, brother.”

Thanking the 33-year-old champ, Kambosos wrote, “Thank You brother, WAR Ready.”

As per the wish of Kambosos Jr, his opponent WBC lightweight champion, Devin Haney, traveled all the way to take a shot for the undisputed lightweight title. But unfortunately, the Australian government did not allow Haney’s father and trainer to enter Australia due to visa controversy.

However, Haney did not back out from engaging in a trash talk. He targeted Kambosos Jr with the same intensity.
