George is confident in his superiority over the Ukrainian
IBO Lightweight World Champion George Kambosos commented on the upcoming title fight against the former world champion in three weight categories Vasily Lomachenko.
“My prediction for the fight? I’ll win. At least I’m going to win. People don’t want to believe me. I have been waiting for this meeting for a very long time. I will win because fights are about style.”
“It’s fate that I can fight Loma. This fight means more to me than all the previous fights. This is the meeting I wanted.”
The fight between Lomachenko and Kambosos for the vacant IBF lightweight belt has been 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.
