George Kambosos Jr. says he’s going to place his alternative opponent, Jake Wyllie, “out of his misery” on Saturday evening after letting him see what life is like beneath the “lights” in “the big show” on the Qudos Financial institution Area, Sydney Olympic Park in Sydney, Australia.
Some followers really feel that Kambosos must be the one being put “out of his misery” as a result of he’s arguably been winless in his final 4 fights since his upset 12-round break up choice victory over unified light-weight champion Teofimo Lopez on November 27, 2021.
George has appeared terrible in each sense of the phrase since that one massive win. His final efficiency in opposition to Vasily Lomachenko was so totally horrible. If he performs like that in opposition to his alternative opponent, he would possibly lose.
It’s been downhill for Kambosos since that combat. However on the plus aspect, he’s grow to be fairly rich from his two fights in opposition to Devin Haney, his conflict in opposition to Maxi Hughes, and his bout in opposition to Vasily Lomachenko. Kambosos is a one-hit marvel however a wealthy one.
Wyllie (16-1, 15 KOs) was introduced in as a late substitute after Kambosos Jr’s initially scheduled opponent had a medical drawback. The previous unified light-weight champion Kambosos Jr (21-3, 10 KOs) says he collapsed whereas making an attempt to make weight for his or her 12-round mild welterweight headliner.
Wyllie, 24, is a whole unknown, and he’s not a great opponent to organize Kambosos for a world title shot in opposition to IBF mild welterweight champion Richardson Hitchins later this yr.
Wyllie’s Alternative
“It’s experience. It hasn’t happened that much in my career. I had such a big amateur career where you don’t know who you’re fighting on the day of the fight. Nothing changes,” mentioned George Kambosos Jr. to Fighthype about him combating the late alternative Jake Wyllie on Saturday evening.
There’s no drop-off with Wyllie coming in because the alternative as a result of the place to begin was already fairly low. It is a showcase combat for Kambosos to get his toes moist at 140, look good, and sharpen up from the ten months of inactivity.
“We like that he’s a respectful, humble younger child. He’s acquired a pleasant file, 16-1, with 15 knockouts and the identical model. We in contrast him to who we’re sparring, and who we have been combating. It was a no brainer. This child deserves the chance.
“I’m trying ahead to dealing with enterprise. I came upon on Monday morning that Daud had collapsed, chopping weight, or somethings gone improper. We mentioned, ‘Alright, you’re out. Who’s subsequent?’ Jake Wyllie is the man that made probably the most sense. He’s coming into the lights, the large present, however he’s humble child.
“Come Saturday, I’m going to handle my business and take him out of his misery. He can come at me. We’re fully prepared. But at 140, how I feel at the weight, I’ll be coming to him. I’m very focused. I’ve got a lot on the line, too. I’m giving the kid a bit of exposure being around the big lights. No disrespect, but that’s where it ends,” mentioned Kambosos Jr about his opponent Wyllie.
