The legendary promoter is delighted with the upcoming title fight between the Ukrainian and the Australian
Promoter Bob Arumthe head of Top Rank, is looking forward to a grand fight in Perth, Australia between Vasily Lomachenko And George Kambososwhile not sparing compliments to the Ukrainian ex-champion.
“Vasiliy Lomachenko is one of the most exciting fighters I have ever seen, a physical marvel who is still at the top of his game.”
“We have already seen George Kambosos Jr. underperform, but he is a warrior who should not be underestimated.”
“This is a thrilling clash of styles that marks the most significant boxing match ever to take place in the beautiful city of Perth. Thank you to the Western Australian Government for its support in making this historic event a reality.”
Let us remind you that the fight between Lomachenko and Kambosos for the vacant IBF lightweight belt was officially confirmed for May 12, 2024. The event, which also includes two undercard fights, will take place at the RAC Arena in Perth, starting approximately at 5 a.m. Kyiv time.
35-year-old Lomachenko fought his last fight in May 2023, losing to Devin Haney in the fight for the title of absolute world champion. Many experts then considered that the result of the fight was unfair. After the defeat, Vasily decided to take a vacation until the end of the year.
The 30-year-old Kambosos lost twice to the same Haney during 2022, losing the lightweight belts previously won from Teofimo Lopez. In his last fight, George defeated Briton Maxie Hughes to win the IBO lightweight title and become the IBF mandatory challenger.
