Haney will put his WBC belt on the line in a main-event contest at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium, while Kambosos Jr defends the WBO, WBA and IBF straps against the American.
Both Haney, 23, and his Australian opponent will look to remain unbeaten, too, with the tourist entering this bout with a professional record of 27-0 (15 knockouts), while Kambosos Jr is 20-0 (10 KOs).
