Eddie Hearn says George Kambosos Jr. will headline a show in Australia in March. He doesn’t say who the former unified lightweight champion will fight, but he states it’ll be a top 15 contender in his debut at 140.
‘The Emperor’ Kambosos is going through a rough patch in his career right now, losing three out of his last four fights, and is viewed as a textbook example of a one-hit-wonder.
George pulled off a miracle upset of Teofimo Lopez in 2021 and made millions from that brief success. However, it’s been downhill for Kambosos ever since, losing twice to Devin Haney and getting knocked out by Vasily Lomachenko. He’s a flash in the pan.
“Bum” Hitchins in Kambosos’ Sights
Kambosos (21-3, 10 KOs) says he’ll challenge Richardson Hitchins for his IBF light welterweight title in the summer. Referring to the unbeaten New Yorker as a “bum,” Kambosos is confident that he’ll defeat him to become a two-division world champion.
Hitchins ruined Hearn’s plans for a big Australian clash by defeating IBF140-lb champion Liam Paro by a 12-round unanimous decision last month on December 7th. Hearn had hoped to match Kambosos and Paro in a big Aussie batch in 2025, as that fight would have sold big for the Australian market.
