The lightweight division will take centre-stage in a few hours as unified champion George Kambosos Jr puts it all on the line against WBC titleholder Devin Haney in a thrilling battle for all the marbles Down Under. 

Kambosos Jr sent shockwaves around the world last year as he defeated Teofimo Lopez - who came into the bout on the back of beating Vasyl Lomachenko - to become the WBA, IBF and WBO champion. 

The question of who the overnight star at 135lbs would make his first defence against was an immediate topic of conversation, with Lomachenko initially the favourite in what would have been a blockbuster bout.

Lomachenko returned home to Ukraine and enlisted in the territorial army in a bid to help defend his people from Russian soldiers, however, with Haney instead getting a shot at undisputed glory.

The 23-year-old American is unbeaten in his 27 professional outings, last seeing off the challenge of Joseph Diaz with a one-sided unanimous decision win in December last year. He would become the youngest undisputed champion in the four-belt era with victory.

As the eagerly-anticipated spectacle edges ever closer, Sportsmail takes you through everything you need to know.
