Lomachenko vs Kambosos fight preview
In addition to fighting for another world title on Saturday, Lomachenko (17-3) hopes to demonstrate to himself and boxing fans that he still ranks among the best in the business. He was anxious to disprove the notion that he had reached the end of his career after losing against Teofimo Lopez.
After the shocking defeat, he went on to win three straight fights, but the battle with Devin Haney left him with a bad taste. Not because he is unhappy with his performance, but because he still feels the judges made a mistake in the decision, which many others have also expressed. He is resolved to dispel any doubts, especially on Saturday when he is in the opponent’s nation of origin.
In addition to having the chance to become the world champion once again, Kambosos (21-2) would also be able to demonstrate that his upset with Lopez wasn’t an anomaly if he prevails on Saturday. Furthermore, he has often stated to the media in recent weeks that victory would solidify his status as one of the best Australian boxers of all time.
Kambosos has expressed interest in becoming a member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, an honor he feels will become more likely if he wins a title once more, along with five of his fellow countrymen.
