Eddie Hearn says George Kambosos Jr. will headline a present in Australia in March. He doesn’t say who the previous unified light-weight champion will combat, however he states it’ll be a prime 15 contender in his debut at 140.
‘The Emperor’ Kambosos goes by way of a tough patch in his profession proper now, dropping three out of his final 4 fights, and is seen as a textbook instance of a one-hit-wonder.
George pulled off a miracle upset of Teofimo Lopez in 2021 and made thousands and thousands from that temporary success. Nonetheless, it’s been downhill for Kambosos ever since, dropping twice to Devin Haney and getting knocked out by Vasily Lomachenko. He’s a flash within the pan.
“Bum” Hitchins in Kambosos’ Sights
Kambosos (21-3, 10 KOs) says he’ll problem Richardson Hitchins for his IBF mild welterweight title in the summertime. Referring to the unbeaten New Yorker as a “bum,” Kambosos is assured that he’ll defeat him to change into a two-division world champion.
Hitchins ruined Hearn’s plans for an enormous Australian conflict by defeating IBF140-lb champion Liam Paro by a 12-round unanimous determination final month on December seventh. Hearn had hoped to match Kambosos and Paro in an enormous Aussie batch in 2025, as that combat would have offered huge for the Australian market.
