According to sources, the undisputed lightweight title will be on the line on June 5 in Australia.
The bout will take place in Australia on Sunday to accommodate a June 4 broadcast in the United States, according to sources.
During his last six fights, a rising star from Las Vegas has competed on the streaming service, but his deal expired. Sources said that the young fighter signed a multi-fight, co-promotional deal with Top Rank and Lou DiBella.
Sources said that the deal includes a second fight if Haney wins. If Kambosos loses and exercises his right to a return bout, that fight would take place in his native Australia. If he loses, his next bout would be promoted by Top Rank and DiBella.
Kambosos, who holds all four major sanctioning body titles at 135 pounds, needed an opponent for the first defense of his championship after his opponent decided to remain in war-torn Ukraine rather than head to Australia for training camp.
The deal was already agreed to before Russia invaded. Officials were told Monday that the talks for a Kambosos-Haney bout were on hold.
He pivoted back to ESPN, but this time with the opponent, because he couldn't get a deal with DAZN to stream the bout.
Kambosos won four titles in the Upset of the Year. Kambosos was 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217
The Australian will be installed as an underdog once again, despite being rated the No. 1 lightweight in the world. In May and December of 2021, Haney won decision victories over Linares and Diaz, breaking out at 135 pounds.
The smooth-boxing Haney isn't a power-puncher but possesses an excellent jab and is regarded as one of the sport's best defensive fighters.
Kambosos was not well-regarded before he earned a title shot. He was seen as a routine title defense against Lopez, a top pound-for-pound boxer.
Kambosos shocked the world with his combination punching and power in one of the best performances of the year.
The debate about the title of the title of the title of the title of the title of the title of the title of the title of the title of the title of the title of the title of the title of the title of the title of the title of the title of the title of the Kambosos won several titles from Lopez. The holder of the title is Haney. Many believed Kambosos to be an undisputed champion, while others believed Haney had a legitimate claim to his own title.
There are many options for him on the network if he defeats Kambosos twice. He wants to jump to 140 pounds in the near future, where he could be matched with Lopez. A high-stakes fight with Lomachenko is possible if the 135-pound limit is maintained.
He will travel halfway around the world for his shot at lightweight supremacy.
