On Saturday, May 11, Vasiliy Lomachenko (17-3, 11 KOs) will attempt to create history and become a three-time world champion as he travels to Australia to take on George Kambosos Jr. (21-2, 10 KOs) for the vacant IBF world lightweight title at the RAC Arena in Perth, Australia. The event will be shown on ESPN+ in the U.S., with Sky Sports named as the broadcaster in the UK.
