The 135 lbs unified champion Teofimo Lopez will put his titles and unbeaten record on the line against his mandatory challenger George Kambosos Jr. on June 5 in a main-event clash. While Kambosos Jr. is also an unbeaten prodigy, boasting more wins than Lopez, the nearing lightweight clash can see him become the new champion. Although Lopez will seemingly remain the favorite, it won’t diminish Kambosos Jr.’s chances of winning.

Things have escalated quickly and turned intense between both the boxers. They faced off for the first time at a Triller-based event and almost got physical.

While they had their mics in hand, neither side hesitated in demeaning the other. Lopez thoroughly showcased his prowess with words and vowed to dismantle the Australian in the ring.

The face-off showed fans that they are in for an exciting build-up.

Lopez’s legacy might see a scratch if George Kambosos Jr. gets a crack at him. Akin to Lopez, ‘Ferocious’ Kambosos has been thoroughly active in his career and will look to maintain his own undefeated streak.

He is also an inch taller than Lopez Jr. and will look to make the most of it and claim his maiden world title. However, winning against ‘Take Over’ might not be an undemanding task.
