Vasyl Lomachenko vs George Kambosos date, time, when & how to watch the fight
Dailysports tells you what you need to know about the fight for the modest IBO and IBF titles of some of the best lightweight boxers of our time.
Lomachenko vs Kambosos what you need to know
Ukrainian Vasyl Lomachenko was once predicted to be one of the greatest boxers in the history of his sport. However, after the coronavirus, the career of "Loma" turned out to be somewhat crumpled: the last time Vasyl entered the ring exactly a year ago, when he got a chance for a championship fight against Devin Haynie, but lost it by judges' decision - experts believe that the decision of the referees was wrong.
George Kambosos is much younger than his opponent, which is important in the lightweight division. The Australian boxer is six years younger, although he has also had title fights: in 2021, the 30-year-old boxer beat Teofimo Lopez in a fight for the IBF, WBA (Super), WBO and WBC Franchise titles, but in the next fight against Devin Haynie he lost them, and then lost the rematch.
At the moment, of the two boxers, only Kambosos has the championship belt: he holds the IBO title. In addition, the IBF title will be played, which became vacant after Haney moved to another weight.
