Lomachenko and Kambosos Jr. Set for Lightweight Title Clash
Saturday's Main Event at RAC Arena to Feature Clash of Styles
Lomachenko, 36, Faces Kambosos Jr., 29, in Highly Anticipated Bout
On Saturday, Vasiliy Lomachenko will square off against George Kambosos Jr. in a highly anticipated lightweight title fight. The bout will be the main event of a card at Perth's RAC Arena, with the main card set to begin at 1000 AEST.
Lomachenko, a former two-time Olympic gold medalist, is considered one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world. He has a record of 17-3 with 11 knockouts, but is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Devin Haney in May 2023. Kambosos Jr., meanwhile, is the current IBO and WBA lightweight champion. He has a record of 20-0 with 10 knockouts.
The fight is expected to be a clash of styles, with Lomachenko's technical prowess being pitted against Kambosos Jr.'s power and aggression. Lomachenko will be looking to use his quick footwork and precise punching to outbox Kambosos Jr., while Kambosos Jr. will be looking to land a big punch that can end the fight early.
The fight is also being billed as a battle between youth and experience. Lomachenko is 36 years old, while Kambosos Jr. is 29. Lomachenko has more experience at the highest level, but Kambosos Jr. is in the prime of his career and will be looking to make a statement by beating one of the best in the world.
