Devin Haney gave his father one job before they arrived at the Rod Laver Arena to take on George Kambosos jnr: to find a gift for the man trying to take his undisputed lightweight crown.
Bel Haney found what he was looking for. He sat behind the four world titles his son will defend against Camposos in Melbourne on Sunday, holding a book that left a quarter of the hall in hysterics.
“It’s the art of war. “You can hand it to him there because we want him to be well prepared,” Bill Haney said. “What excuse will he get on the sixteenth day?”
Camposus was quoted by Sun Tzu art of war When he lost weight on his first attempt at preparing for his match with Haney four months ago, before losing belts in a convincing fashion. This time he had little time for theatrical performance, throwing the book to the floor when it was passed to him during Friday’s press conference.
“They want to try and give me a gift there, thanks but I don’t need it, I have a gift,” Camposos said.
Whatever they say isn’t a problem. Whatever they do in their preparation, whatever they have in mind, it’s OK. It’s all right on our part. I’m looking forward to a big fight. If they want to talk, they want to. To say beautiful things.
Devin Haney and George Camposos met face to face on Friday.attributed to him:GT
“Changes have been made. You learn from your losses and come back as a better fighter. I’ve learned from my losses. I’m back to my roots too. We’re just focused. I won’t give up on anything. Sunday is when I speak. We’ll see who’s laughing last.”
Camposus [20-1] He will target a three-way match with the undefeated Hani [28-0] If he can win the WBC, WBO, IBF and WBA Super Championships this weekend.
