George Kambosos UNEXPECTEDLY ANNOUNCED A FIGHT WITH Devin Haney / Gervonta Davis - Lomachenko FIGHT
George Kambosos UNEXPECTEDLY ANNOUNCED A FIGHT WITH Devin Haney Gervonta Davis - Lomachenko FIGHT Absolute lightweight champion George Kambosos (20-0, 10 KO) announced something grandiose on his Instagram: Big news is on the way. Keep moving forward no matter what Manager Vasyl Lomachenko (16-2, 11 KO) Egis Klimas spoke about the situation with the organization of the fight with the absolute lightweight champion George Kambosos (20-0, 10 KO): We agreed to a rematch option. Why not? The chances are great. They are, of course, interested. Today in Australia, whose name can be higher in this weight category than Vasyl Lomachenko? I don't think Australia knows very much who the Fuck is. And everyone in Australia knows Vasily. So far, only Kambosos is in the plans. Something else is planned, if we suddenly do not grow together with the Kambosos. There is nothing to say yet, because this is empty talk. Klimas also stated that the appointment of a Ukrainian as a mandatory applicant does not give advantages. The former world champion in three weight categories, Venezuelan Jorge Linares, admitted in an interview with Match TV that he would like to have a rematch with Ukrainian Vasyl Lomachenko in Russia. — In 2018, you lost ahead of schedule to Ukrainian Vasyl Lomachenko, but sent your opponent to a knockdown. How often do you hear the phrase: "Jorge Linares is the first one who dropped Lomachenko"? (Linares did not wait for the translation). I'm lucky that I did it. As a result, I lost that fight… But I have earned respect in the boxing world. And maybe someday we will meet Lomachenko in the ring. And if it ever happens, I would like such a duel to take place in Russia. — In Russia it will be almost impossible to organize a fight with Lomachenko. — I understand this perfectly well, I know about the existence of a conflict. But you need to think positively. Now I am signed with a Russian company, and I want to do even the impossible for it. — Who, in your opinion, is the strongest lightweight today? — This division is very competitive. But I will call Gervonta Davis the best lightweight. For me, this is a very dangerous boxer in this weight class. — I would like to hear your forecast for a possible fight between Lomachenko and George Kambosos. — If Lomachenko is the same as before, will show the same boxing, then he will achieve victory. The two-time Olympic champion Lomachenko has 16 victories in the professional ring and two defeats, the Ukrainian has won championship belts in three weight categories. The 36-year-old Linares has 47 wins and seven losses. Last weekend in Yekaterinburg, the Venezuelan lost by technical knockout in the 12th round to Russian Zaur Abdullayev in a duel for the title of mandatory challenger according to the WBC lightweight version. Eddie Hearn, the promoter of the WBC lightweight title holder Devin Haney, said that the streaming service DAZN has recently been actively trying to convince the absolute champion of the 135-pound division, George Kambosos, to fight with his ward, and not with Vasily Lomachenko. "We had a good week of negotiations. DAZN stands between us. It is very important for them to arrange this fight, because if Lomachenko fights with Kambosos, he will be a big favorite in this fight, and the belts can return to ESPN. Therefore, DAZN is very actively trying to arrange a Devin Haney - George Kambosos fight. They want this fight very much and want to organize it. We will come back with numbers and various details. I believe that DAZN acts as a good intermediary between me and Lou DiBella, which is why Lou doesn't lose his temper, and I'm not stubborn. This is a good model when everyone can be rational and see if it is possible to negotiate. Offers from DAZN are going back and forth, and I think we have a good chance. It seems to me that Kambosos is playing a game. George wants to be the undisputed absolute champion, and he can only do that in a fight with Devin Haney," Hearn said. GEORGE KAMBOSOS EYES VASYL LOMACHENKO BEFORE GERVONTA DAVIS ORDER George Kambosos Jr. has begun his path to an eventual unified battle with Gervonta Davis by working out a deal with Vasyl Lomachenko. The Greek-Australian lightweight ruler wants a homecoming event down under after ripping the belts away from Teofimo Lopez last year. ‘Ferocious’ George had hoped to land an undisputed collision with Devin Haney. However, a lowball offer from Haney’s promoter Eddie Hearn – not the first of his career – scuppered any attempts. Since then, the World Boxing Organization has ordered a fight with Vasyl Lomachenko that has to take place next. As Lomachenko was on a two-man shortlist presented to the media by Kambosos and his team, this is the most logical step.
