George Kambosos Jr. blew up a bunch on social media, responding to criticism for his return to Sydney, Australia on March 22.
Former three-belt lightweight champion Kambosos (21-3, 10 KOs) announced to his 83k followers on X that he will be heading to his hometown of Sydney on May 22 in a “huge card.”
Popular X poster Ray Jackson took a verbal shot at the little ’emperor,’ letting him know it would be nice if he won in front of his fans, because “the last time they saw you, Yo A ** has won 24 straight rounds. ”
Ray discusses Kambosos JR’s back-to-back, humiliating, humiliating 12-round unanimous decision losses Devin Haney 2022 in Melbourne, Australia. In response to Ray’s criticism, Kambosos spoke about his family and his job as a forklift operator.
Jackson is right that it would be nice for Kambosos to win for a change in front of his fans in Australia, as Haney dominated back-to-back fights the last time he was at home. If Kambosos keeps losing, he won’t have Aussies wanting to see him fight. Kambosos JR’s record is 1-3 in his last 4 fights since 2022. It should be 0-4 if you consider Maxi Hughes is struggling against the loss.
The last time Kambosos Jr. won a fight in Australia nine years ago, when he won Brandon Ogilvie by unanimous decision over 12 rounds on December 2, 2016 in Sydney.
Former IBF, WBA, WBO and RING lightweight champion Kambosos Jr in the last three years hit Rock Bottom, losing twice to Haney, Vasily Lomachenko knocked out and won a questionable 12-round majority decision against Maxi Hughes.
Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn recently signed Kambosos to a multi-fight contract until the end of 2024, and he will make his debut at 140 on March 22 in Sydney. Hearn didn’t say what he plans to do with Kambosos, but it’s likely he named him the title shot against Teofimo Lopez in the rematch.
In the first fight against Haney at Kambososa Stadium at Marvel Stadium, they fought in front of a huge crowd 41.129. For the rematch Haney-Kambosos Jr. On October 16, 2022 at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, the crowd was much smaller, just 13.128. This suggests that Kambosos’ appeal in Australia has fallen after his first loss to Haney.
It’s not as bad as your mother won last night doing her job in the corner, and it’s not as bad as you’re going to beat your ass when they throw the keys to jail, you fat ugly paedo. The forklift association should fire your fat ass they had to make custom forklifts with… pic.twitter.com/1o4zxdm3o1
