George Kambosos Jr can be headlining on March twenty second in opposition to a still-to-be-determined opponent in Sydney, Australia. This would be the first battle with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing for the previous unified light-weight champion Kambosos Jr. (21-3, 10 KOs). Skye Nicolson can be on the cardboard.
Hearn hasn’t revealed his plans for Kambosos. He had wished to schedule a conflict between Kambosos and former IBF mild welterweight champion Liam Paro in Australia, however after Paro’s defeat in opposition to Richardson Hitchins final December, that spoiled his plans.
Kambosos In Want of A Win
Hearn promotes Hitchins, too, however a battle between him and Kambosos wouldn’t be an enormous one. It’s not the perfect use of Kambosos feeding him to Hitchins and watching him get trounced. Hearn will probably deal with getting an even bigger battle for Kambosos Jr. in opposition to somebody like Teofimo Lopez, Devin Haney, or Ryan Garcia.
Kambosos has arguably misplaced each battle within the final 4 years since his upset win over Teofimo Lopez on November 27, 2021. He had one questionable win in opposition to Maxi Hughes on July 22, 2023. Many boxing followers noticed that as a loss for Kambosos, as Hughes dominated the whole battle.
Kambosos’ Final 4 Fights
– Vasily Lomachenko – TKO 11 loss– Maxi Hughes – MD 12 win: *Questionable– Devin Haney – UD 12 loss– Devin Haney – UD 12 loss
“I think Hitchins is a good fighter. I think he needs me, but I want him because I see holes,” mentioned George Kambosos Jr. to the Stomping Floor when requested why he needs to battle IBF mild welterweight champion Richardson Hitchins so badly.
“I think at 140 with what I can bring to the table with his basic style. He’s very basic. He’s good at the basics. He’s got a good jab, left hand, a good right hand, but at 140, I think I can overwhelm him,” Kambosos continued about Hitchins.
“[Liam] Paro did a very good job in the first couple of rounds but got away from it. I think Paro was caught up with another possible mega-fight with my name as well attached. I see things in that fight. I love New York. It’s a good stomping ground for me, and I love to be but obviously not the favorite. I’m the underdog.”
The Emperor’s Fall
Kambosos doesn’t stand an opportunity in opposition to Hitchins or another high 10-level fighter at 140. He’s only a one-hit marvel who acquired fortunate with a slim 12-round cut up choice win over Teofimo Lopez. The little ‘Emperor’ Kambosos’ profession has been sinking ever since
Hitchins does want Kambosos for a payday and to get extra consideration in his profession. Nonetheless, when it comes to opposition, Kambosos is an enormous step backward for Richardson. He’s not in the identical league as Hitchins’ current fights in opposition to Liam Paro, Gustavo Lemos, Jose Zepeda, or John Bauza.
“I think I’m another loudmouth New Yorker. I feels like it’s all come around. I’m back with Matchroom. I’m back with Eddie Hearn. I love the Matchroom. I love Eddie Hearn’s way and vision. I feel comfortable. I’ve been with Lou since 2016. I love Lou…I feel like there’s a good direction and path to become champion again. I see it,” mentioned Kambosos.
After 8 years I lastly get to showcase in my 140 debut in my hometown SYDNEY, big card, March 22! Full particulars subsequent week. Necessary battle to set extra championship gold 🏆🇦🇺 https://t.co/ssYjE3vWa3
