T\ufeffhe bad blood between Devin Haney<\/a> and George Kambosos Jr<\/a>'s camps has continued to fester after a brawl nearly broke out during a fiery weigh-in.<\/p>\n

Haney and Kambosos will face off in a second world title match this year on Sunday, and both made weight ahead of the fight. <\/p>\n

However, in chaotic scenes at Rod Laver Arena, the two fighters immediately stared each other down before engaging in some push-and-shove.<\/p>\n

Camps of both Kambosos and Haney immediately rushed onto the stage to remonstrate and security was called to help de-escalate what was nearly an all-out brawl.<\/p>\n

The fiery scenes left the commentators on hand, Warren Smith and boxing great Barry Michael, stunned.<\/p>\n

\"Devin<\/p>\n

"It got a little willing there and a bit out of control," Smith said on Fox Sports' coverage.<\/p>\n

"It certainly got a bit heated there. It nearly got out of hand there," Michael added.<\/p>\n

"There's every chance it's going to be a war. It'll be something else. There's bad blood between the two of them.<\/p>\n

"I think we're gonna see serious fireworks."<\/p>\n

Even world-famous promoter Lou DiBella, who has seen thousands of weigh-ins, was \ufefftaken aback by the ugly scenes.<\/p>\n

"You don't want to see that. It's very easy to go from that to something dangerous," DiBella said.<\/p>\n

"There was nothing staged about that at all. That was real.<\/p>\n

\"Devin<\/p>\n

"That being said, this is a fight, a prize fight, and there's a lot of emotion, a lot of adrenaline here.<\/p>\n

"So it's not shocking and ultimately no one got hurt, thank God."<\/p>\n

After needing to weigh himself twice in order to make weight prior to the pair's first meeting back in June<\/a>, Kambosos had no such issues this time around.<\/p>\n

\ufeff"No doubt. We put in the work. That's a statement right there. We'll make a statement tomorrow," he said.<\/p>\n

"I'm ripped and ready. I haven't shown too much in this camp but I'm gonna show it all tomorrow.<\/p>\n

"We are ready, and whatever he brings ain't enough."<\/p>\n
