Boxing: George Kambosos Jr and Vaisily Lomachenko weigh in ahead of their bout in Perth for the vacant IBF lightweight title.

George Kambosos is standing on stage, shirtless, and shadow boxing while waiting for one of the greatest boxers of the past 20 years to show himself.

“And I’m ready for a fight,” Kambosos has already told host Ben Damon after weighing in earlier on stage. “Ready for a war.Which to be fair, was somewhat surprising given the Ukranian superstar is staying in the same Crown Casino building where so much of this week’s build has taken place.Indeed, for so much of this week, Loma has proved that his boxing IQ goes well beyond what takes place inside the ring ropes.

Same deal his treatment of the IBF ruling that demands fighters, after the first weigh in is complete, also conduct a second at which neither can weigh more than 10 pounds over the 135-pound limit.But with this Sunday’s hyped card kicking off around 8.30am in Perth — so it can then be beamed into US prime time – that second scales appearance has to happen sometime late on Saturday night.To which, of course, and likely for a giggle, Lomachenko then said 10pm.

Asked his thoughts on why there might be a delay, Kambosos Jnr replies: “He’s struggling with the weight, that’s why.And then, as if by magic, the legend dubbed “Matrix’ appears from behind the curtain — grinning, and raising his eyebrows as if surprised by the fuss.And the reasons for your worrying delay?Officially, Lomachenko weighed in at 61.2kg.
