Kambosos Promises to Send Loma into Retirement

During the official press conference on the night of May 9th, ahead of the fight between Vasyl Lomachenko and George Kambosos for the IBF and IBO lightweight titles (up to 61,2 kg), the bout is set for the night of May 12th in Perth, Australia. Kambosos expressed confidence in retiring his opponent.

"My preparation has given me confidence. I had a huge training camp. It boosted my confidence, but I have always believed in myself. That was the case when I won the belts. The speed I have—he's never seen such speed and explosive power. I have the will, the heart, the desire to win this fight. I really want it. I've worked very hard for this fight. I'll leave no stone unturned.

When I beat Lomachenko, there will be no other path for him. It will be retirement for him. You'll see on Sunday," said Kambosos.

Former three-division champion Vasiliy Lomachenko is not surprised by such statements.

"I've heard this kind of talk before, but it's no surprise to me. We'll see what happens on May 12th. See you in the ring. I've been in this sport for a very long time. We are two professionals, we know boxing, the strategy of boxing. It will be very interesting for both of us, for all boxing fans. Good luck to us both," said Vasyl.
