Lee Haskins’ manager Jamie Sanigar admits his disappointment that the Bristol man didn't get to fight on the undercard to Canelo Alvarez’s win over Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas last weekend, but also expressed his joy that Haskins is now the IBF world bantamweight champion.
There was plenty of drama surrounding Haskins (32-3, 14 KO’s) last week in Vegas, when his scheduled opponent and now former champion Randy Caballero weighed in five and a half pounds overweight, but Sanigar says that there wasn't any chance of the fight happening, even at a catchweight.
Sanigar told Boxing Scene: “It was a pretty normal fight week up until the morning of the weigh-in when I got a call off Golden Boy. I thought it was just to pick up credentials, but when I arrived I knew there was a problem, as Robert Diaz of Golden Boy and Caballero’s father, who was devastated, were around a table not looking happy."
