A small scuffle broke out but fortunately the fighters were kept apart.
Kambosos’ Hall of Fame promoter Lou DiBella said: “You don’t want to see that.
“It’s very easy to go from that to something dangerous. There was nothing staged about that at all. That was real.

Haney outboxed Kambosos over 12 rounds to add the WBA, IBF and WBO belts to his collection and unify the division.
But the beaten Aussie refused to cherry-pick an opponent to knock over in a comeback bout and returns ready for redemption.
Kambosos said: “I’m ripped and ready. We put in the work. That’s a statement right there. We’ll make a statement tomorrow.”
