He said he checked them at the hotel and they said he was on weight. A little disappointing. It’s common protocol that you go and you check the official scales. While it won’t take that long (to make weight), it can play with your head a little bit.”

“I told him he wasn’t a true champion because true champions make weight. They don’t got to take multiple times to make weight,” Haney advised FightTV. “We trained for six to eight weeks to be prepared to make weight on our first go so I told him he’s not a true champion and he’s a bitch.

“He’s mad about it. He’s upset he didn’t make the weight so’s trying to do anything to get down. At the end of the day we’re going to fight tomorrow whether he makes weight or not.”

When the combatants confronted off one final time, Kambosos’s father Jim virtually clashed bodily with members of Haney’s entourage. It was Jim who famously took the 12-year-old George to Rockdale Police Citizens Youth Club to shed weight. Kambosos rose shortly thereafter, turning skilled at age 18, successful the NSW title in his third combat and the Australian belt in his sixth.

Despite the weigh-in shenanigans, it’s understood the unification bout nonetheless would have gone forward at Marvel Stadium even when Kambosos didn’t make the load. However, the Sydney slugger would have been stripped of his belts whatever the consequence.
