On May 12, the Greek Australian fighter, George Kambosos Jr will go head-to-head against boxing icon Vasily Lomanchenko.
Taking place in Perth, Western Australia, the pair will be fighting for the IBF lightweight world title.
For Kambosos, the competition is about more than a belt, money, titles, fame, or cars.
“This fight rejuvenates my career. It’s redemption,” the 30-year-old fighter told The Daily Telegraph.
“I’ve been in big fights, won big fights, lost big fights. This is about legacy. It’s not about money, or winning a world title. It’s legacy. And that’s the same for Lomachenko.
“Our careers are on the line. Legacy is on the line.”
The Ukranian fighter said this was the biggest fight in Australian history.
“It’s about legacy and showing that only one of us will continue with their career,” Lomanchenko said.
“One of us will go not where we want to go… So, I’m very motivated, I know he’s motivated, and on May 12 a true war will come to Perth.”
