WBC lightweight champion Devin Haney’s promoter Eddie Hearn is in negotiations with Lou DiBella who is the promoter of undisputed WBA, WBO, IBF, WBC franchise lightweight champion George “Ferocious” Kambosos for a fight in Australia in 2022
“There’s a lot of conversations between myself and Lou DiBella,” Hearn told DAZN. “The two promoters, we’re trying to figure out the structure of the deal, international TV, money being generated in Australia, etc. We’re in a decent place. I spoke to him this morning, 3AM his time, I think everybody involved wants to make the fight happen.
“In that respect, I think we’ve got a great chance to do so. We’re talking about the financials, which will be the make-or-break part. Devin has no problem going to Australia, obviously being vaccinated. It’s the fight to find the true undisputed champion of that division. Confident we can make the fight because it’s the fight that those parties want most.
“I don’t think George wants to wait for anything. He wants the biggest fights and to make as much money as he can. Waiting around is very dangerous, strike while it’s there, make big fights and money while it’s there. There will always be a cloud over this until that fight happens. It’s one of the best fights in boxing.”
Funny, everyone wants to fight Kambosos, but I guarantee you that if were a prime Roberto Duran instead, the enthusiasm would be little. Something is telling me that Kambosos will be like Vanilla Ice, just one hit wonder.
Stop collaborate and listen !!
Hey don’t sell Mr Ice short. An undeniable talent that fell victim to Don King style music promoters.
Everyone chomping at the bit trying to get Kambosos, but wouldn’t it be a treat if he serves Haney’s ass and fights Loma in a mega fight??!!
Borimex, yes it would.
Loma wasn’t willing to fight the best when he was on top. You were happy to believe the hype he was top p4p fighter, then he finally fought somebody (good) in their weight class. Now you want Loma to cut the line? Loma doesn’t sell tickets and have no titles why should he get a shot when you’ll said Haney dont deserve the fight for the same reasons?
that seems to be the trend will ALL Top Rank fighters why do you think Crawfish is suing uncle Bob? TR and the ESPN sellouts all try to paint that picture that their fighters are P4P greats yet fight nobodies Crawfish just beat his first top 5 147lber who admitted he was going to retire anyway and what i found strange is his last opponents dad throws in the towel then goes and hugs the guy his son was fighting singing praises did anybody else with a neutral mind see that?
Yeah we know Devin Haney’s the most avoided nobody wants to fight him so we’re just going to act like he doesn’t exist the only Mega fight is for Undisputed and that’s between Haney and kambosos because Haney is an actual champion and Loma has nothing which makes the Haney fight bigger but nice try your fear is showing you’re what’s wrong with boxing fans even you’re trying to duck
Nothing new here. Let me know the fight date and venue and we will know it’s done. Until then, pipe down George.
I’m good with a Haney Kambosos fight but they should thicken the pot so all 3 are under contract. winner of the two face the other. Winner of Haney Kambosos by contract have to face Loma, or Winner of Loma Kambosos has to face haney. Then we are all happy and get to see two damn good scraps! Especially because no one at the top in that division wants to fight each other anyway.
well i like your thinking but kambosos has the straps, why should he have to fight Haney to face Loma? Loma and Haney should scrap and winner faces Kambosos.
Spfr: yup. I cld go for that too.. either way, i jus wanna see some good fights!! I hope this is the year we see the top fighters fighting each other
if i were Kambosos and they really want to shake things up and they want the Haney fight first then defend against his WBC mandatory Haney for only the WBC belt because Haney is going to try and “steal” a points win then vacate and jump to 140 mark my words on that.
Haney is the WBC champion already you seem a little confused or you just don’t want Haney to get a shot at Undisputed which seems fishy for a boxing fan I wonder why
“I wonder why” hahaha do you LOSERS ever quit with the race baiting? Without it you don’t have a leg to stand on. Haney is a paper champ, he’s not a real champ. It’s going to be great watching Kambosos outwork him and hopefully KO him. With a nose that big, how could he miss!!
If it’s Kambossos vs Loma,I will buy thé fight if it’s Haney I will look the result in the news like a lot of people!!!!
Should be fighting Loma. Haney has fought no one. Of course he talks a lot and will bring attention.
George will beat haney
What could be bigger, Loma – Kambosos.. Haney is unknown in Australia and.. if Haney will get the fight and win, he would run from Loma untill Loma turns 38/39, its no brainer.. so its bad for boxing fans, just like Teo, why he did’nt fight Loma seccond time? even when he said straight away, that he would…
