George Kambosos Jr named among Australian boxing’s 20 most powerful

·

The Daily Telegraph has released its list of the 20 most powerful figures in Australian boxing and among the names is George Kambosos Jr.

Kambosos scored one of the greatest boilovers in the history of Aussie boxing by beating Teofimo Lopez to become the lightweight king.

He has since put on three domestic blockbusters with two of this generation’s best fighters, and is reportedly lined up for another big bout overseas before the end of the year. 

Kambosos has Spartan heritage and has always been proud of his Greek Australian roots.

In an interview with The Greek Herald in June 2022, Kambosos said “having a Greek background means the world.”

“Having the heart of a Greek, the passion of a Greek – you can’t explain it unless you are Greek,” he explained. “Raising both flags on the world stage is a true honour and it’s very humbling to be in this position.”
