Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum is in negotiations for former world champion Vasiliy Lomachenko to challenge undisputed WBA, IBF, WBO, WBC franchise lightweight champion George Kambosos in Australia in 2022.
“This fight, against George Kambosos Jr in Australia, is my first-choice for Loma. Loma is well-prepared to do it,” Arum told Sky Sports. “We are talking to the Kambosos Jr people about Loma going to Australia, which Loma is prepared to do. It would be a huge fight in Australia. But we have a Covid-19 problem to clear, which I think we can do.”
Bob Arum’s Top Rank company previously promoted in Australia in 2017 when Manny Pacquiao lost the WBO welterweight title to Jeff Horn in Brisbane with over 50,000 fans in attendance.
This is the fight everyone want to watch!!! Let’s Go Lomachenko VS Kanbosos Jr.
I hope the judges aren’t biased agianst Lomo like they were against Pacman. Stoned cold robbery is what turns boxing fans off.
You might have something there Hubert , for many years in Mexico it was often said that the only chance to win in the Far East was if their fighter was carried out on a stretcher. Fast forward to now and I don’t think much has changed.
Amen, Brother.
I doubt Kambosos will Survive that long for a decision against Loma TBH.. he makes a lot of mistakes I can see Lomachenko taking advantage of and landing a lot of punches
I wld like to see that fight happen with loma. Once Loma gets his belts back, then go beat the brakes off Haney to shut that dude up once n for all. I just dont see Arum putting up as much money as Hearn though
Yes Kambosos will get KO’d. Lopez was a fluke just like Kambosos. Then Loma can go KO Haney. I can’t see it any other way.
Kambosos beating Lopez was no fluke. Lopez is HIGHLY overrated.
You guys re discounting Kambosos and his training regime is crazy. The dude looks sharp AF I see no much window up for Loma to exploit so either, he counters and frustrates him on the first rounds or Loma is gonna be in big trouble against George feral power
Australia is absolutely INSANE with their covid restrictions. Their whole government needs to be rounded up and gassed! Hopefully they can make this fight happen, it’ll be a good one!
Truth, some of the worlds governments are committing war crimes.
Right? They’d probably require Lomachenko to spend two weeks in one of their concentration camp hot boxes before he can start training. I really feel bad for my fellow dissenters in the nation down under, but they should have never given up their firearms in 1996. We would have the same totalitarian government and concentration camps here in America, if we didn’t have so many citizens with arms.
1000%. It’s absolutely miserable with the restrictions. One of my aunts lives in Queensland for business and it’s not good for anyone. But, she will see the fight if it happens. Huge fan as well.
kambosos has a lot of confidence should do well
probably goes the distance but probably lose to the better man in either haney or loma
Yesss bring this fight down under – to see Loma would be bloody awesome ! I’d be barracking for ferocious George but to see Loma in action here in Sydney, that would be a great thing.
Exciting
Kambosos will be out of his league against Lomachenko, but his immense heart and being fighting before his people will push him to unthinkable limits for an epic, memorable battle. Lomachenko by TKO after 10th round.
This is the fight….Seriously!! Don’t want to see Haney vs Kambosos unless I have to. Ryan Garcia won’t fight him, so I’m not going to waste my energy. And Tank vs Kambosos would be another one I’d like to see!!
Styles make a fight.. this one is tailor-made for Loma.
I have to add that I really like George Kabosis! What a thrilling fighter!!! He’s real!!
Caligula. Do you like Kambosos as a fighter or like him-like him? Just asking based on your track record back in the day? How’s Nero doing?
I love George’s spirit and if he’s ever gonna beat Loma or Haney the time is now, but i got Loma beating him regardless Haney is a more winable fight imo
Hmmm. I don’t know about Aussie judging Loma. Better take Ford, Christodulou and Byrd with you
LOL!!! I’m kidding.
Lomachenko better start preparing now if the fight is even kind of serious. The energy level from a younger, excited Kambosos in his own country could be overwhelming. All the tricks in the book will be needed.
Styles make fights, so let’s see how Kambosos does when he has to close the gap going forward to engage and Loma is dialed in
All you guy need to get off lomos pickle .lopez beat him and kambosos beat lopez how are you so quick to think he is getting knocked out hahaha you are all dreaming don’t delete your comments to
Lopez “beat” a one armed Lomachenko. Lopez will NEVER agree to a rematch with Lomachenko because he knows how lucky he got in the first fight. He hit nothing but air 90% of the fight and still got the decision. Sad.
So guess Haney is gonna be passed! SMH
