MELBOURNE, Australia — Australian boxer
George Kambosos Jr will get a chance for revenge against undisputed lightweight
champion Devin Haney on October 16, promoters announced Tuesday, just months
after a 12-round defeat.

The 23-year-old American won via unanimous decision
in June, and the pair are set to lock horns in Melbourne again after Kambosos
exercised his rematch clause.
“It’s going to be a good show, and October 16 is
where I do my talking,” Kambosos, 29, said in a press conference on Tuesday.
“That’s my whole career, where I’ve been the
underdog. It’s nothing new for me.”
Haney added he was keen to show how much he had
improved since the last bout.
“I know George is going to come to fight, he’s going
to give his all, even more than he did the first time,” he said.
“It’ll make me showcase my skills even more.”
While June’s fight took place in front of a 41,000
strong crowd at Marvel Stadium, the rematch will be at the significantly
smaller Rod Laver Arena.
Kambosos flagged that if he does not win, it could
signal the end of his career.
“I’m 29, this is do or die for me now,” he said.
“You will not see me — if I don’t overcome this fight — back
in Australia fighting domestic guys. That’s not me.”
