George Kambosos Jr and Devin Haney are days away from delivering a highly-anticipated mega event. Ahead of the undisputed showdown, the duo met for a conference in Australia, where they had some intense exchange of words. In the heat of the moment, the unified WBA, IBF, WBO, and The Ring Magazine lightweight champion billed his opponent as a rat along with being an informant.

While trading words at Australia Boxing Centre in Melbourne, ‘The Emperor’ said, “I put it for anyone I could have fought the garbage man outside for one or two but I chose you. You’re not my mandatory. I picked you so you know what you’re here and everything is really good on Sunday.”
After listening to Kambosos Jr’s remark, Haney made a sarcastic remark. He asked Kambosos Jr to be real.
To which Kambosos Jr replied, “I’ve never changed. I never changed. The Lopez conference is exactly the same you know what you are acting beautiful I’d rather be an actor than a rat.”
Notably, Kambosos Jr had clinched unified titles in an epic battle against the former unified champion, Teofimo Lopez the previous year.
