Kambosos-Lomachenko in 2022?

By Ray Wheatley – World of Boxing

Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum is confident former world champion Vasiliy Lomachenko will challenge WBA, WBO, IBF champion George “Ferocious” Kambosos in Australia late in 2022.

“Kambosos will make a voluntary defense then could fight Lomachenko in Australia,” Arum told Sky Sports. “I have promoted fights in Australia. It’s a great place for fights. They have great fans who would welcome Lomachenko. I am optimistic that at the end of next year we will have Loma back fighting for the titles.”

Bob Arum, of course, promoted the WBO welterweight championship bout between Manny Pacquiao and Jeff Horn that attracted 51,000 fans in Brisbane in 2017.

  • eff austrailia , it is a communist shithole. human respect is over boxing, sawee .

    • The real shithole is The United States of America….. We have more capitalists crooks and people which don’t care about humanity or the climate

      • Australia per person burns more carbon than any other country. Go start your V8 and sell more coal you clown.

  • If anyone could pull it off in Australia, it’s Bob Arum!! Australian’s don’t care for the English much so that kind of nix Matchroom

  • would love to see that fight but in Kambosos first defense i mean all Haney wants to do is try and steal a points win then hes going to jump to 140 dont want watch a scratch and hold snoozer anyway at least Loma comes to fight

    • True, Haney needs to start putting on some more action. Loma isn’t without fault. He damn sure was not exciting against Lopez.

    • Yup. I cant wait to see Haney move up. If he cant hurt anyone at his current weight, hes has no chance at a higher weight

  • Soooooo what happened to Haney? He the one guy who is literally dodged by everyone. Loma, Lopez, Tank and Kambosos. He can’t get a break.
