George Kambosos Jr. is ready to win gold again in front of family and friends in Australia. He must overcome former lightweight king Vasiliy Lomachenko as they compete for the IBF lightweight title on May 11.
Kambosos defeated Teófimo López, earning a decision victory to have the unified lightweight gold against the man who beat Lomachenko for all the belts. The Australian lost them immediately after facing Devin Haney for a chance to be undisputed. “Ferocious” aims to recover the gold by any means necessary.
Having home advantage doesn’t always work as Kambosos lost twice to Haney in Melbourne. Beating a future Hall of Famer in Lomachenko in Perth would fix his fortunes at home while also securing his legacy.
“A victory would return me to the lightweight king,” said Kambosos. sky sports. “I was there not long ago… It would push me back into that position. It gets me back to where I want to be, where I’m motivated to be. And I’m 30 years old… If I can’t beat a guy like Lomachenko then that opportunity doesn’t really present itself anymore.

Lomachenko lost to Lopez but was able to rebuild, winning three matches in a row, all against Lopez’s former opponents. Proving a point, the Ukrainian did enough to secure a fight against Haney, where he lost in a close contest with what some have called a controversial result. A year later, he returns to the ring to fight for gold again.
