Lomachenko commented for the first time on the announcement of the fight with Kambosos

Former world champion in three weight categories, Ukrainian veteran Vasily Lomachenko reacted to the announcement of the fight with the Australian George Kambosos.

These boxers will meet on May 12 at the RAC Arena in Perth, Australia. The vacant IBF lightweight championship belt will be at stake.

“I am very excited about the opportunity to once again compete for the title of world champion. George Kambosos is a great fighter. I know I have to prepare well to deserve victory. The fight in Australia will be a new experience for me, and I’m looking forward to the opportunity to give the people of Perth an unforgettable show,” Lomachenko was quoted as saying by ProBox TV.

Note that for 35-year-old Lomachenko this will be the first appearance in the ring after losing on points to Devin Haney in May last year.
