The unification world title fight between George Kambosos Jr and American Devin Haney will proceed on Sunday after the Australian dramatically made the weight at the second time of asking.
Looking to defend his three world title belts and take Haney’s WBC strap, Kambosos even removed all of his clothing as two guards tried to shield him from cameras with towels, but was still over the limit on his first weigh-in attempt. “He’ll have a little sauna and a skip, it’s not much weight, he’ll make it,” said Fenech for Main Event. “For me you always come and check the weight on the official scale. He said he checked them at the hotel and they said he was on weight. A little disappointing. It’s common protocol that you go and you check the official scales. While it won’t take that long , it can play with your head a little bit.
“He’s mad about it. He’s upset he didn’t make the weight so’s trying to do anything to get down. At the end of the day we’re going to fight tomorrow whether he makes weight or not.”Photograph: William West/AFP/Getty Images
