George Kambosos Jr. believes his speed and power are going to factor in his beating Vasily Lomachenlo on Saturday night in their battle for the vacant IBF lightweight title in Perth, Australia.
Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum says Vasiliy Lomachenko is his favourite current fighter to watch. And Arum says if he can make a fight between Loma and Shakur Stevenson, we fight fans will be left in “awe.”
The great Vasiliy Lomachenko, an absolute lock for the Hall of Fame, fights this Sunday (local time), against Australian warrior George Kambosos Jr in Perth.
According to a news story in The Australian, former lightweight champions Vasiliy Lomachenko and George Kambosos Jr are close to seeing a fight signed for April, most likely in Australia, in either Perth, Sydney, Adelaide, or Melbourne.
Shakur Stevenson and former unified lightweight champion George Kambosos Jr traded words today on social media. Stevenson (20-0, 10 KOs) let Kambosos Jr know that he views him as the weakest of unified champions of “all time.”
What next for the still-brilliant Vasiliy Lomachenko? With the decision loss that Loma suffered in his fight with Devin Haney still causing anger and debate – Oscar De La Hoya tweeted how Lomachenko won “hands down” and that “whoever thinks Loma didn’t win does not know sh** about boxing” – Lomachenko’s team members have said an appeal will be launched over the decision.
Keyboard warriors, don’t you just hate ’em! How many trolls are out there, seemingly having nothing better to do than to criticise a dedicated professional boxer, a person they could never keep up with in the gym, let alone in a ring, in a million years.
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum has confirmed that the Devin Haney vs. George Kambosos Jr. is being finalized to be taking place at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia.
Going into Saturday’s fight with Devin Haney, reigning lightweight champ George Kambosos Jr was being looked at as perhaps the best fighter in Australian boxing history – at least as a fighter who could maybe go on to earn the distinction.
Devin “The Dream” Haney made an 8,000-mile trip to Melbourne, Australia for the chance to cash in on his opportunity to fight for the undisputed lightweight crown.
