Artist Patrick J. Killian revealed a time lapse of his painting of George Kambosos Jr. and Devin Haney on Twitter. The video is a little over two minutes long, but shows Killian's base for the painting and follows him through outlining the pair of fighters locked in a tense exchange of punches.

His painting captures a stoic George Kambosos Jr. and a ferocious Devin Haney in Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia with the docklands skyline behind them.

The artist stated:

"This piece captures both fighters in battle."

This painting came at just the right time as the two fighters prepare to step into the ring and face off on Sunday, June 5, 2022, to fight to become the Undisputed Lightweight Champion. Kambosos holds the WBA, IBF, and WBO belts, and Haney holds the WBC belt.

With both boxers holding a collective knockout quotient of 25 between them, fans should make sure not to blink, or they might miss the fight.
