George Kambosos Jr is among the best lightweight boxers ever to grace the ring. He is known for his fierce fighting style inside the ring. The Australian was the lightweight champion of the world from 2021 to 2022. He last fought in 2022, losing his bout against Devin Haney, and inevitably was stripped of his titles in his homeland. On the other hand, Haney became the first lightweight undisputed champion of the world. Kambosos Jr hasn’t let defeat define him, and he is training for a comeback fight soon.
