George Kambosos Jr. has the IBO lightweight belt, but that’s not the only prized possession the ‘Ferocious’ Kambosos holds dear. In a recent twist, the former unified world champion shared a clip of himself on X flying through the roads of his hometown in his $700,000 Ferrari, leaving his fans in a mania. 

The Aussie Emperor will go toe-to-toe with Ukrainian legend Vasiliy Lomachenko on Sunday, May 12, later this year. The dual title fight will see Kambosos’ IBO and the vacant IBF lightweight titles on the line in the fight scheduled at the RAC Arena in Perth, Australia. However, with the fight quite a while away, ‘The Emperor’ is enjoying some downtime in his $700,000 possessions.

Turning to the social media platform, the Sydney resident wrote, “GK loves a fast car.” Meanwhile, in the clip, the Aussie can be seen sitting in the convertible, steering the wheel, and speeding through less-than-busy roads in Sydney, Australia. That aside, Kambosos – Lomachenko fight will be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN Deportes, and ESPN+.

The Australian is coming off a majority decision win over Maxi Hughes from July last year. At the same time, it would be the first fight for Lomachenko since his loss at the hands of Devin Haney, a fight many claimed was a robbery for Loma. While speculations are all over the place for their upcoming fight, Kambosos’ clip managed to attract all the attention to him.
