IBF #3 lightweight George “Ferocious” Kambosos Jr (18-0, 10 KOs) ) is confident he will be victorious by KO on October 31 when he clashes with IBF#4 lightweight Lee Selby (28-2, 8 KOs) on the undercard of the heavyweight clash between Oleksandr Usyk and Derek Chisora live on Sky Sports Box Office in the UK and DAZN in the US.
“I am training with Mick Akkawy in Sydney and I have my American team in Miami,” said Kambosos to Fightnews.com®. “Mick Akkawy( Australia) and Javiel Centeno in Miami. I have sparred eighty rounds with Australian middleweight fighters. Big heavy solid guys.
“The American Team is looking forward to me doing the business. Javiel Centeno is a fantastic coach. I am the kind of fighter that loves to continue to learn. Every day I am learning more and more. We are ready. We are looking forward to bringing the whole camp together.
“Selby is the biggest fight for any Australian fighter this year. You got to think what comes out of this fight. I am going into someone’s backyard to fight another former world champion. I did it with Mickey Bey and now with Lee Selby.
“I am bigger – stronger and more explosive than Selby. I have been working very hard during this COVID period. Physically, the way I am punching hard, I am really coming into my prime now. I am 27 years of age. I am confident I will KO Selby inside the distance.”
The only way you are going to win this is by KO anyway, as the judges are in Selbys pocket.
Good luck but doubt you will get a fare call over in the UK.
I disagree Roy. The judges over in the UK are no better or worse than anywhere else is the world. That being said Kambosos won’t need them, he is a machine and Selby won’t be able to handle the pace.
That’s a pretty stupid thing for Kambosis to stay when Moloney is fighting innoue for the ring belt.
Kambosos, will get a fair decision like Crawford did against Burns in his backyard.
Least he is not fighting an American opponent in the US, he would definitely get robbed, just ask Khan, Lewis, Fury amongst all the others who have had decisions against them in the US.
