The combatants talked some trash, but it was Haney's father/trainer, Bill Haney, who stole the show. He presented Kambosos (20-1, 10 KOs) — or at least attempted to — a copy of Sun Tzu's "The Art of War," a reference to Kambosos post-weigh-in mind tricks before their first bout back in June. Kambosos was none too pleased and knocked the book off the dais.
Haney (28-0, 15 KOs) dominated Kambosos to unify all the belts at Melbourne's Marvel Stadium, and a little more than four months later, the world's top lightweights will do it again.
