Former unified light-weight champion George Kambosos Jr. says he’ll make his debut at 140 in March after which problem IBF gentle welterweight champ Richardson Hitchins for his belt in June or July.
Hitchins (19-0, 7 KOs) referred to as out the previous one-hit marvel, Kambosos Jr. (21-3, 10 KOs), after his 12-round cut up resolution win over IBF 140-lb champion Liam Paro final month on December seventh. George doesn’t deserve a world title shot except we decrease the bar for what a fighter must do to earn a crack at a belt.
“Emperor’s” New Goal
‘The Emperor’ Kambosos’ perspective is that if Hitchins needs the battle, he’ll accommodate him, however he says he views the New Yorker as a “bum” who hasn’t “made no money.” Kambosos has made a small fortune over his upset win towards an injured, ring-rusty Teofimo Lopez 4 years in the past on November 27, 2021.
George beat Lopez by a 12-round cut up resolution however has finished little or no since, going 1-3 within the final 4 years. Kambosos’ file must be 0-4 in his final 4 fights as a result of his 12-round majority resolution win over Maxi Hughes on July 22, 2023, was extremely questionable within the eyes of many followers.
“Yes, yes, I keep saying a million times. He keeps saying, ‘You’re not signing a contract.’ What contract? You want me. You’re a champion, and you haven’t made no money. You’re a bum. You haven’t done anything in the sport except win your last fight, and win a world title,” stated George Kambosos Jr. to Fighthype, speaking about IBF gentle welterweight champion Richardson Hitchins.
“That doesn’t imply nothing to me. I’m coming for you. I wish to take your head out, and also you wish to make some cash? Cool, come make some cash and I’m going to take that belt off you. Lots of people name me out. I knew he was going to leap at it. I knew I’m beneath his pores and skin. I’m residing in his head rent-free. I’m beneath his pores and skin. I like getting beneath these New Yorkers.
“I’m going to make this debut at 140 in March. He ain’t ready until June or July, and we’re there. Straight after March, we can do it the next month. We can do it the next day, no problem. I’m coming for this guy,” stated Kambosos about desirous to battle Richardson Hitchins.
Kambosos is getting forward of himself. He nonetheless must win his debut at 140 in March earlier than he’ll have an opportunity to problem Hitchins for his IBF title in June or July. If Kambosos’ promoter, Eddie Hearn, matches him towards a midway first rate opponent for March, he’ll lose for certain. That would depart George’s dismal file at 1-4 in his final 5 fights. The factor is, it’s not like he’s a shot fighter. He was by no means good within the first place.
“It’s no secret. Me and Paro, we’re going to do that big, big fight. I was going to do my business in March and then have that big stadium clash. I’m such a big name in the world of boxing that Hitchins called me out the next day,” stated Kambosos.
That needed to have been disappointing for Kambosos to see Liam Paro crushed by Hitchins by a 12-round cut up resolution of their battle on December seventh in San Juan, Puerto Rico. All that cash that Kambosos would have gotten towards former IBF 140-lb champion Paro went down the tunes together with his loss to Hitchins, and it’s not coming again.
“I’ll Take His Head Off”
“I’m just zoned in on getting better every day. I’m feeling good at this weight and putting on a great performance in March. I’m going to take this guy’s head off, and then we go straight into Hitchins. He says certain things here and there. What am I worried about you? You’re not one-tenth of Devin Haney. You’re not one-tenth of Teofimo Lopez. You’re not one-tenth of Lomachenko,” stated Kambosos.
The one fighter of these three that Kambosos Jr. beat was Teofimo Lopez, catching him on a nasty evening off a protracted layoff in 2021. George misplaced twice to Devin Haney and was knocked out by Vasily Lomachenko in his final battle on Might 12, 2024. He hasn’t fought since. Kambosos is seen as a shot fighter, however he was by no means seen as a great fighter from the get-go. So, his dropping repeatedly simply exhibits his stage or lack thereof.
