While trading words at Australia Boxing Centre in Melbourne, ‘The Emperor’ said, “I put it for anyone I could have fought the garbage man outside for one or two but I chose you. You’re not my mandatory. I picked you so you know what you’re here and everything is really good on Sunday.”
After listening to Kambosos Jr’s remark, Haney made a sarcastic remark. He asked Kambosos Jr to be real.
To which Kambosos Jr replied, “I’ve never changed. I never changed. The Lopez conference is exactly the same you know what you are acting beautiful I’d rather be an actor than a rat.”
Notably, Kambosos Jr had clinched unified titles in an epic battle against the former unified champion, Teofimo Lopez the previous year.

The champ had stunned Joseph Diaz in his previous fight. The 23-year-old is one of the best-skilled boxers of this generation. Though Kambosos Jr has an edge over Haney in terms of height, the reach of 180cm puts them on equal terms.
Haney has an experience of 27 fights. The champ remained undefeated and finished 15 bouts by way of TKO.
Since two undefeated warriors are going to trade leather, the Marvel Stadium will certainly witness one of the most spectacular events.
