That was the one-hit marvel Kambosos’ quarter-hour of fame, and his profession has rapidly fizzled out, however not earlier than he’s cashed in on the Teofimo victory, banking hundreds of thousands from that struggle with profitable bouts in opposition to Devin Haney x 2, Maxi Hughes and Lomachenko.
