Devin Haney suffers second blow before Kambosos Jr fight as cutman detained in Australia

Devin Haney has reportedly lost yet another key member of his team ahead of his blockbuster fight with George Kambosos Jr this weekend. Haney's cutman Bob Ware is now expected to be absent from his corner for the biggest fight of his career after he was detained at Melbourne International Airport on Friday morning.

Authorities claim that Ware failed to disclose a previous criminal conviction on his original Electronic Travel Authority Visa application and is under supervision by the Australian Border Force in Melbourne as a result.

According to Boxing Scene, Ware disputed that he had failed to divulge his past conviction but his explanation was thrown out by onsite authorities. Ware could now be the second key member of Haney's team to miss the world title fight with Ben Davison also unable to travel due to undisclosed visa issues.

The news about Ware's detention comes after Haney's father and trainer Bill Haney was blocked from travelling to Australia with his son two weeks ago after his visa was also not approved, denying him entry to the country. The same publication claimed his application was held up due to a review of spent drug convictions from nearly 30 years ago.
