Kambosos Jr. off leash

George Kambosos Jr. went off on social media, reacting to criticism about his return to Sydney, Australia on March 22.

Former three-belt lightweight champion Kambosos (21-3, 10 KOs) had announced to his 83k followers on X that he will be heading to his hometown of Sydney on a “big card” on May 22.

Popular X poster Ray Jackson verbally attacked the little ‘Emperor’, letting him know that “it would be nice” if he won in front of his fans because “the last time they saw you, “They hit me for 24 rounds straight.”

Ray discusses Kambosos Jr’s consecutive humiliating 12-round unanimous decision losses. Devin Haney in 2022 in Melbourne, Australia. In response to Ray’s scathing 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 because Haney dominated him in back-to-back fights the last time he was home. If Kambosos keeps losing, there won’t be any Australians who want to watch his fights. Kambosos Jr’s record is 1-3 in his last 4 fights since 2022. It should be 0-4 if you consider the Maxi Hughes fight was a loss.

The last time Kambosos Jr. won a fight in Australia was nine years ago, when he defeated Brandon Ogilvie by unanimous decision in 12 rounds on December 2, 2016, in Sydney.

Former IBF, WBA, WBO and Ring Magazine lightweight champion Kambosos Jr’s career has hit rock bottom over the past three years, losing twice to Haney, being knocked out by Vasily Lomachenko and winning a questionable majority decision in 12 assaults against Maxi Hughes. .

Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn recently signed Kambosos to a multi-fight contract in late 2024, and he will debut at 140 on March 22 in Sydney. Hearn hasn’t said what he plans to do with Kambosos, but he’s likely tipping him toward a title shot against Teofimo Lopez in a rematch.

In Kambosos’ first fight against Haney at Marvel Stadium, they fought in front of a massive crowd of 41,129. For the Haney-Kambosos Jr. rematch on October 16, 2022, at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena, the crowd was much smaller, with only 13,128. This suggests Kambosos’ appeal in Australia fell after his first loss to Haney.

It’s not as bad as the beating your mother got last night working at her corner job and it’s not as bad as the fact that they’re going to beat your ass when they throw the keys at you in jail, you fat, ugly pedophile. . The forklift association should fire you, they had to make custom forklifts with… pic.twitter.com/1O4zxDM3O1
