In Melbourne (Australia), a fight took place for the title of absolute world champion in lightweight, in which Australian George Kambosos (20-1, 10 KOs) and American Devin Haney (28-0, 15 KOs) met.

Haney acted in a calm manner and at the same time controlled the course of the battle. Kambosos tried to aggravate the situation, and in the ninth round he even sent the opponent to the canvas, but the referee did not record a knockdown.

Haney did not miss in the championship rounds, as a result of which the judges gave the victory to the American on points unanimously - 116:112, 116:112 and 118:110.



Devin Haney defended the WBC title, and also took away the WBA, IBF and WBO belts from Kambosos. The American boxer became the undisputed world champion - the first in lightweight since the days of Pernell Whitaker (1990-1991).

Recall that the Ukrainian Vasily Lomachenko was supposed to become the rival of Kambosos, but he eventually refused the fight and decided to stay in Ukraine due to the military invasion of Russia.
