The Australian shared his thoughts about his future opponent.
Former undisputed world lightweight champion George Kambosos spoke about the upcoming fightwith ex-world champion in three weight categories Vasiliy Lomachenko.
The Australian highly praised his Ukrainian opponent, calling him “the Albert Einstein of boxing.”
“U He has the IQ of the Albert Einstein of boxing. Lomachenko still has a lot left in him. But I don't believe he still has that evil dog in him. I doubt he wants to win as much as I do now.
You should never look down on a guy like Lomachenko. I would be the biggest idiot if I did that. Lomachenko is a great fighter, he's a guy we respect a lot. We are preparing for the best version of Lomachenko. As soon as the gong rings, there will be no more respect, it’s time to do the job,” Kambosos said.
