George Kambosos Jr. gives Devin Haney a warning
George Kambosos Jr. gave his opponent a warning for missing their first press conference in Australia. With less than three weeks to go before fight night, the pair were scheduled to have their first physical press conference in Australia. However, 'The Dream' decided not to show up, probably because he would have to travel all the way to Australia for it and then fly back to train.
'Ferocious' took to Twitter to warn his opponent as their fight looms closer:
"Damn shame Devin couldn’t keep to his commitments and be here for the scheduled press conference between me and him TODAY in Melbourne!! Don’t get cold feet on me now bro Im chomping at the bit for June 5th"
With all the trash talk and disrespect leading into the fight, fans are expecting fireworks on June 5th. The clash promises to be a great fight for all boxing fans.
