So I’m just going to chill and wait to smack Richie in a few months and take his belt. I’m ready to showcase all the work we have been putting in over the last three months and will give a good local Aussie kid a shot! 5 days out there is no show without me, the undercard needs me and I want them all to shine and be paid for the hard-work they have put in. Australian boxing needs me, and victory no matter what, sets up my world title shot next. 16-1 (15KOs)Jake Wyllie. You are the current Australian 140 national champion, you’re the only one that hasn’t been disrespectful for a payday, and I like how you have gone about your business. So I’m giving you the Rocky shot! But this isn’t a Rocky movie, don’t get it twisted, there is no happy ending. Ferocious statement see-you all on Saturday night. The show goes on, the Ferocious Show,” said George on X.

To my incredible sponsors, thank you for your continued support this year. Without you all I wouldn’t be able to chase my dreams and greatness.
