"I knew he was looking for the jab so I wanted to show other tools in the arsenal," Haney said via ESPN after the fight. " ... The right hand won me the fight tonight."

Haney can now turn his attention elsewhere, which likely means a fight with former unified champion Vasiliy Lomachenko in 2023.

"He is a great fighter. For me, to have the guts to go again with him," Kambosos Jr. said via SkySports.
"He gave me a good boxing lesson in the first round. He is a slick man. I gave my best. I tried my heart out tonight. But this guy is going to be there for a long time.
"I gave him a great challenge. A great fight over 24 rounds. He is one of the best in the world in boxing, not just this division."

Wilder congratulates Fury after trilogy defeat

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Deontay Wilder has finally broken his silence following his trilogy defeat against British boxer Tyson Fury with the American congratulating his opponent for the victory.

The thoughts of all Deontay Wilder fans was that the American would be able revenge in the trilogy fight, but Tyson Fury was so hard for him in Las Vegas.

When the fight got to the fourth round, Deontay Wilder knocked Tyson Fury down two times with the hope that the Bronze Bomber would be able to win, but the Brit staged a stunning comeback and triumphed.
