"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."
