However, George Kambosos Jr. missed the weight in his first attempt and reappeared on the scales after an hour. Following this unprecedented drama, Kambosos Jr. and Devin Haney both voiced their thoughts to the media and fans.

Part of his Art of War, says George Kambosos Jr.

After George Kambosos Jr. reappeared on the scales and made his weight, an official interviewed him and asked about what he did to hit his mark.

Relaxing, Kambosos Jr. referred to The Art of War by Sun Tzu, and said the following, “Art of War, baby. Deception. Let them believe that this was done. Everything is for a cause; everything is for a process. Trust me. Tomorrow, just be here.”

In addition, he commented, “Art of War, Deception. Maybe I did it on purpose. I took a piss; I chilled out. I was about to have a great coffee, also, you know, let me go and make the weight. Now I’m gonna go, have a great coffee. See you all tomorrow.”

Well, it seems Kambosos Jr. wanted his fans to believe that he missed weight the first time on purpose. However, how this will affect Haney’s mindset, only the ‘Ferocious’ will know.

He wrote, “Asked what he did between 1st attempt and making weight on second, Kambosos says, “I took a piss. I chilled out. Used 1:15 of his allotted 2 hours. #boxing #KambososHaney.” 

Replying to Rafael’s tweet, Haney shared one word and a running emoji.
