The newly crowned unified champion will look to add another belt to his collection against one of the best rising champions
After several twists and turns, WBC lightweight champion Devin Haney has won the George Kambosos sweepstakes. Haney will challenge unified lightweight champion Kambosos on June 5 at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia, according to reports from ESPN's Mike Coppinger and BoxingScene's Keith Idec. The fight will take place in primetime on June 4 in the United States and broadcast on ESPN.
Haney agreed to a two-fight deal with Top Rank and Lou DiBella as a part of the contract. If Haney were to win in June, there would be a rematch between the two later this year in Australia as well, according to the reports.
The fight would crown the first undisputed champion in the lightweight division in the four-belt era.
