George Kambosos Vs. Jake Wyllie Fight: Kambosos Has Expressed Confidence In Topping His Eleventh-Hour Replacement

This coming Saturday will mark the turning point in the career of George Kambosos. The Australian will be making his debut at super lightweight. Kombosos (21-3), who is a two-time silver National titlist, will be enjoying the home-ground advantage against his opponent.

He will be playing home for the first time since 2018 in his third bout in five matches in Australia. ‘Ferocious’, who is a former unified lightweight champion has a record of 1-1 in his last two bouts. He was defeated by Vasiliy Lomachenko in his previous fight for the IBF belt.

Prior plans had it that Kambosos was booked for Daud Yordan in Sydney. Though, Yordan was forced to withdraw at the beginning of contest week on medical reasons.

The former unified lightweight titleholder is now set to face Jake Wyllie, a 24-year-old boxer. Jake is fellow Australian who is not scared to let his punching do the chitchat inside the ropes.

"I respect Jake for stepping in but there's a difference fighting at domestic level and World level. When you deep dive on the guys he's knocked out, they are plums!" Kambosos posted on social media.

Kambosos is making his debut at 140. The boxer is to make an instantaneous effect in the division. Even though, in boxing it has been proven that upsets are inevitable, “Ferocious” is optimistic the bout won’t end with his hand not being elevated. Further, he views Saturday night's battle in Sydney a master-versus-apprentice confrontation after Wyllie vowed to terminate the former world lightweight titleholder's career.

"I don't even think about that. I ain't losing to no Jake Wyllie, put it this way. You're gonna be f***ed up if you think I'm gonna lose to Jack Wyllie. Simple as that," said Kambosos in a pre-fight interview.

Elsewhere, Kambosos failed to show up to a promotional photoshoot at the venue on Wednesday. Their fight will take place at the Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney, Australia. His team said that a change in the media plan had come too late and conflicted with Kambosos’ preparations.

Meanwhile, Wyllie (16-1) is on an eight-bout win line, with all those victories via knockout. His last excursion was against Allan Villanueva barely a month ago in a bout that ended in a no contest because of accidental clash of heads.

Jake, the courageous youngster is promising to spring one of boxing's prodigious boilovers to repudiate Kambosos (21-3, 10KOs) a shot at unbeaten American Richardson Hitchins in New York later in the year to become a two-division world winner.

"I have true belief," Wyllie said.

"I stay active. I'm always fit and healthy so that when these opportunities arise, I can drop the hammer down.

"I'm here to do a job on Kambosos," said Jake in a pre-fight interview.

Wyllie has attained 16 of his 17 professional bouts, 15 by knockout, though, the opponent insists the 24-year-old is "out of his depth" and imagining if he truly thinks he will out-class him.
