“You Are Too Overlooked in the Sport”: Days Before Devin Haney vs. Vasyl Lomachenko Undisputed Title Clash, Fans Join George Kambosos Jr. in Reminding Boxing World of His Greatest Challenge

In the high-stakes world of boxing, it’s not just the punches that land in the ring that make an impact. Sometimes, it’s the words exchanged outside the ropes that stir up the most chatter. Enter George Kambosos Jr., the reigning lightweight champion known as much for his powerful jabs as his tenacious spirit. Recently, it’s his audacious outlook on the sport that’s turning heads, both within the boxing community and beyond.

A recent Twitter exchange between Kambosos and respected boxing presenter Dev Sahni ignited a conversation that extends far beyond their immediate circle. It challenges long-held beliefs about what constitutes a real fight and the boxing ethos itself. But what was this seemingly innocuous conversation that has the boxing community in such a flutter? And why has it struck a nerve with fans and critics alike? As it turns out, the answer is as unconventional as the man himself.

A Twitter exchange ignites a debate: Kambosos Jr.’s stance on ‘real’ fights

The spark that ignited this intense dialogue was a tweet from Dev Sahni, which read, “George Kambosos should get MORE CREDIT for defending his world titles against Devin Haney in his first defence. Devin Haney should get MORE CREDIT for going to Kambosos’ backyard to win the belts.” Kambosos, not one to shy away from a conversation about his sport, responded with conviction. He tweeted, “I beat the man that beat the man, then went straight for all the smoke against the man that was avoided by everyone. The fans don’t want easy title defences they want REAL fights. F*** protecting the record, you’ll get the best fights made, the fans got to understand that.”

This powerful statement drew a flurry of reactions from fans who resonated with Kambosos’ perspective. Brandan Power, an ardent supporter, remarked, “Indeed you are too overlooked in the sport, another good win against a top dog and you’ll hopefully get the respect you deserve.”

Another fan named Ash lauded Kambosos for his impressive performance, stating, “@georgekambosos beats anyone else in that division. No shame in losing to an all-time great. You gave us the best sporting moment of the year.”

Meanwhile, one Twitter user recognized the need for more fighters with Kambosos’ attitude, commenting, “This is 💯 [True]. The sport needs more fighters w/ this attitude and guts. Also overlooked in this regard is Paul Butler. He could’ve decided for an easy first title defense against a nobody, but instead, he chose to go to Japan and fight Inoue in a unification fight.”

Gilbert Gortarez echoed the sentiment, expressing his agreement. He said, “Agreed champ!! You are the real deal!!”

One user summed it up by saying, “Nah without a doubt you did your thing Kambosos respect bro.”

The reaction from fans underlines the recognition and admiration Kambosos is garnering for his unflinching approach to the sport. But it also sheds light on a broader conversation about the state and future of boxing.
