Devin Haney outclasses George Kambosos Jr to become undisputed lightweight champion

Devin Haney was crowned as the new undisputed lightweight champion by unanimous decision after the American star outclassed George Kambosos Jr in Australia.

Kambosos Jr headed into the bout - which took place in his home nation - with all the belts after his shock victory over Teofimo Lopez last year, but Haney produced a terrific performance to defend his WBC crown and claim the lineal, WBA, IBF and WBO titles from his lightweight rival, who suffered the first defeat of his 21-fight career at Marvel Stadium.

After 12 rounds, Haney was crowned as the new lightweight king after the fight was scored 116-112, 116-112 and 118-110 in the 23-year-old's favour. Haney maintains his perfect record and moves to 28-0 as a result of his clinical display.
