George Kambosos Jr has vowed to become lightweight king again as he gears up to take on boxing great Vasiliy Lomachenko.

George Kambosos Jr accepts he will be sharing a ring with a boxing great in Vasiliy Lomachenko next month. But respect will be cast aside when he seeks to blunt the Ukrainian's iconic career in view of reclaiming the lightweight throne. The Australian city of Perth awaits as the stage to yet another star-studded lightweight clash on May 12 when Lomachenko travels to Kambosos' back yard to fight for the IBF world title. Kambosos deems it a contest that sells itself. He is not wrong.

'When I first turned professional and obviously since the the amateur days I was watching him, him being such a supreme amateur. When you sit there and watch these guys, you understand what you have to do again.' It represents a fight long-in-the-making for Kambosos, with plans to face Lomachenko having previously stuttered in light of the Ukrainian's return home following the Russian invasion.
