Devin Haney boxed his way to a unanimous decision win over George Kambosos to unify the WBC, IBF, WBA, and WBO lightweight titles on Saturday night.??

we made a lot of sacrifices to make the fight happen and it all paid off. Australia will be heading into winter by the end of November, when the tentative date is set for the rematch, and Haney has said that facing his Aussie rival again must "make sense".

Today they gave him the decision, but I’m sure it will change when we get it on again. His cutman Bob Ware was denied access entirely for a separate issue, meaning he had a makeshift corner team for the biggest fight of his career. He was told he must travel to Australia and accept a rematch clause in order to get his chance at undisputed.
