Looks like the proposed clash between undisputed WBA, WBO, IBF and WBC franchise lightweight champion George “Ferocious” Kambosos and WBC lightweight champion Devin Haney isn’t happening anytime soon. The Kambosos camp has reportedly “moved on” after no agreement between the two sides could be reached.
Another problem is apparently Haney hasn’t received the COVID vaccination. As you may recall, Australian officials recently revoked the visa and deported world #1 tennis player Novak Djokovic due to his unvaccinated status. So this is an issue.
Bring on Lomachenko!!!!!
That would be interesting. Kambosos looked bigger in the ring than López, and Loma had problems with López’s size.
I am not counting on that fight taking place until there is an announced contract.
Exactly ! Nobody knows Devon in Australia, no matter how mouthy he gets it won’t sell. Loma will sell though !
You sound like a fool. Devon is always respectful and never “mouthy”.
Figures. These d bags think they deserve Floyd Mayweather money whenever they fight someone they think might beat them.
Also, Australia is an authoritarian shithole and the fight can take place in a free country.
You are a dick. No idea whatsoever!
It’s unfortunate, but true about Australia.
I had doubts about the fight happening as did many here. You can get exposure by saying you want to unify, then talk your way out of the fight by overcharging. O won’t touch too much on the medical procedures because it’s not the right channel, but we have complete authorization over our bodies.
Kamobosos has several options available. I would just fight a mandatory to stay busy and keep the edges sharp.
Penal colonies have a way of doing things differently…no surprise there.
Haney won’t come to Australia because he only wants to fight in the US, he’ll never be Undisputed.
The majority of these articles published saying 2 fighters are discussing a possible fight is simply foreplay to the readers. Nothing is laid in stone until contracts are signed and the agreements met. I never get excited over hearing smack talk between 2 fighters since it’s simply “jibber jabber” with testosterone levels.
Thanks for talking about boxing, that’s what should be all about, not bringing absurds political and racist comments.
JUST LIKE I SAID BEFORE KAMBOSOS IS DUCKING HANEY
I dig Haney but he has done nothing yet to even deserve the fight. Very soft opp coming up. Talks a big game hasn’t stepped up yet.
Are you blind? Nobody will fight him so HOW can he “step up?” Lopez didn’t want to fight him and apparently neither does Kambosos. They all shake hands and agree to fight but when its time to fight they all run away.
Chip.. umm nope. I dont think anyone is afraid of Haney. If Haney really wants to fight, he can fight Tank since theirs already beef there. But i doubt he will.
Getting the vaccine is not an issue. Haney said he would get it and there would be plenty of time to get both doses before having to travel.
It is the money.
As a fan, this fight never interested me anyway! Bring on LOMA OR TANK!!!
Who is avoiding who?
Lopez did not avoid loma!
Loma did not avoid lopez!
Kambosos did not avoid Lopez.
Lopez did not avoid kambosos.
Therefore, who is avoiding who!
would like to see loma fight lopez again or kambossa both would be good fights but probably never happen
honestly Haney doesnt deserve the shot at Kambosos plus hes already mentioned he will jump to 140 so let him go ahead and go hes already ducking Loma and Tank so let Loma get the fight if he wins he will fight Tank if Loma loses then he should retire and if Tank wins he will stay at 135 and will fight every mandatory until he loses
Did Kambosos deserve his shot? He was one of the sanctioning bodies’ mandatory. Still won.
Okay Haney, take a “stay busy” fight while waiting for the winner in a possible Kambosos/Loma fight. If Loma defeats Kambosos, Haney may have a far better chance at fighting Loma in the USA.
IF…IF Kambosos defeats Loma, Haney better make precise plans to fight Kambosos in Australia; otherwise, Haney will need to SSSSHHHH!!!
People are clowns and don’t know facts!!! Haney’s not ducking anyone he might not have knockout power but he has skill high ring IQ and can box. Loma ducked Haney asking the WBC for the franchise tag to avoid fighting his mandatory which was Haney. As far as Kambosos he’s definitely out pricing himself with Haney & Loma.
Sorry Haney has not tried at all for a Loma fight. Priced himself way out. Loma fights EVERYONE even when he wasn’t healthy. Who has he ever avoided since fight 1??? Haney will be 40-0 and still carefully having his fights picked.
With that logic, you are a combination of every bad thing your ancestors did.
Tank anyone?
WOW) WBC PREZ ADMITS CANELO & LOMA REQUESTED FRANCHISE AND THEY’RE NO LONGER CHAMPIONS…… copy and paste that 1st half on YouTube and you can hear it coming from the horses mouth CLOWN!!!! Know the facts
Those aren’t the facts. Sulaiman brought this idea of Franchise to Canelo to give his biggest earning belt holder room to roam freely while keeping his (Sulaiman) pockets lined. Arum went to Sulaiman to request the same for his fighter to bypass his mando in Haney in order to unify with Lopez. Personally I didn’t mind the bypass for a unification. Secondly if you want to persecute Loma you have to also do the same to Haney who in turn accepted the WBC belt. The problem with this instead of stepping aside allowing Lopez and Loma to fight and eventually getting the winner he’s stuck in limbo.
Haney seems to be overestimating his worth. Of all the lightweights he generates the least interest. He better take whatever fights he is offered till he proves himself because right now no one is going to pay money to see Haney fight a nobody.
haney is a clown
I KNOW I GOT A VERY NEGATIVE RATING OF 32 DOWN AND ONLY 2 UP… BUT THAT FACT IS KAMBOSOS IS DUCKING HANEY… REASON NOW KAMBOSOS IS SAYING BECAUSE HANEY ISN’T 100% VACCINATED… SO KAMBOSOS WILL FIGHT LOMA… I MEAN THAT’S COOL… HEARNS SAID SAID NAME A PRICE AND KAMBOSOS MAKES THE PRICE SO HIGH THAT THERE’S NO WAY ANYBODY MAKES MONEY… THE REASON FOR THAT IS THE ARENA THAT KAMBOSOS WANTS TO FIGHT DOESEN’T HOLD THAT MANY PEOPLE TO GENERATE THE KIND OF MONEY HE WANTS… HEARNS TOLD HIM THAT AND THEY KNOW THAT… SO FOR THOSE TWO REASON I BELIEVE KAMBOSOS IS DUCKING HANEY… NOW I’VE SEEN ONE PERSON COMMENT HANEY DOESN’T DESERVE TO FIGHT HANEY AND I WOULD NEVER ARGUE THAT POINT… BUT KAMBOSOS WILL NEVER BE WORLD CHAMP WITHOUT THE WBC STRAP SIMPLE AS THAT… SO WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO IS WHO KAMBOSOS THINKS IS THE EASIER FIGHT… I THINK LOMA MIGHT BEAT HIM ANYWAY AND IF LOMA IS HEALTHY HE STANDS A DARN GOOD CHANCE… IF KAMBOSOS DOES BEAT LOMA THEN TO KEEP UP HIA MAN HOOD AND THE ONLY WEAY HE GETS THE WBC STRAP AND THE MONEY HE’S LOOKING FOR HE WILL HAVE TO DEFEND HIS TITLE IN THE U.S…. BECAUSE FOLKS IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY AND HE DAMN SURE AINT WORRIED ABOUT TITLES… MY BET WOULD BE IF HE BEATS LOMA KAMBOSOS WILL COME UP WITH ANOTHER EXCUSE NOT TO FIGHT HANEY…
Haney wants absolutely nothing to do with Kambosos period. He may be talking smack but he has always fought scared and on the defense for the most part. A fighter who will go after him like George will will wreck the fragile Devin . Next please…
Kambosos knows this could be one way ticket, that is the possible reason he wants the presidential suite .
Remember when Haney said he’d never lose to a white boy? He’s going to. And people on here talking about Australia being a racist country. GTFOH
Its something about winning all of the titles that turns these guys into cowards. Its like the belts are cursed.
