George Kambosos Jr eyes redemption with Sydney showdown

·

Former world champion George Kambosos Jr. insists he is far from finished as he prepares for his first fight in Sydney since 2016, aiming to reignite his career with a victory over Indonesia’s Daud Yordan on March 22 at Qudos Bank Arena.

Kambosos, who famously shocked the boxing world by defeating Teofimo Lopez in 2021, has endured a tough run, losing three of his last four fights, including defeats to Devin Haney and a stoppage loss to Vasiliy Lomachenko.

Now, moving up to super lightweight at 140 pounds, the 31-year-old is determined to prove he still belongs at the top.

“I’m not finished,” Kambosos told The Australian.

“I’ve fought the best of the best, and the champions are still calling me out. I will bounce back after Lomachenko and make a statement on March 22.”

Yordan, a 37-year-old veteran with 43 career wins and 31 knockouts, presents a tough challenge, but Kambosos sees this as a stepping stone toward world-title fights against Richardson Hitchins or a blockbuster rematch with Lopez.

Kambosos’ father and manager, Jim Kambosos, believes the weight shift will make him even more dangerous.

“There’s a lot in the pipeline for him after this fight,” Jim said.
