Former pound-for-pound king, Vasiliy Lomachenko, heads to Australia to take on former lightweight unified champion George Kambosos Jr. for the vacant IBF lightweight title, on May 11.
Top Rank Boxing on ESPN will broadcast the event in the United States, and a live stream online with ESPN Plus streaming platform.
Lomachenko (17-3, 11 KOs) is one of the most decorated boxers in history, with a long amateur career he is a two-time Olympic gold medalist and a three weight division world boxing champion in the pros. He is known for his elusive style and high punch output.
Kambosos (21-2, 10 KOs) is a proud Greek-Australian warrior who turned pro in 2013 and gained valuable experience as Manny Pacquiao’s main sparring partner. He would eventually shock the world when he defeat Teofimo Lopez in New York to capture the unified lightweight title. Kambosos reign was short lived when he lost the belts to Devin Haney. The only two defeats on his record are to Haney.
Lomachenko and Kambosos each have something to prove heading into the fight. For Loma he has to prove he still has it, and Kambosos must show the world that he is no fluke by beating the legendary Loma.
Also on the fight card is a women’s bantamweight championship featuring the current WBA champion Nina Hughes defending her title against Cherneka Johnson.
