A fight between George Kambosos Jr. and Vasiliy Lomachenko just got green-lit for May 2. Meanwhile, ‘Ferocious’ has spoken out about a little girl, Dazelle, who is fighting her own battle. Earlier this week, details about Kambosos Jr’s next fight started trickling out to the media, revealing the location and the titles on the line.
The lightweight championship title fight would transpire in Kambosos’ home country of Australia for the vacant IBF lightweight title. However, before the pre-fight ablutions could begin, the IBO world lightweight champion found himself penning a note on X (formerly Twitter) today. He was advocating for the little girl who desperately needed a double lung transplant due to side effects.

Earlier today, the 30-year-old Australian boxer met with Dazelle, the girl in question, in the children’s hospital where she is being treated. Kambosos revealed she had beaten cancer but could not come out unscathed from the battle. According to his tweet, Dazelle now needs a double lung transplant, which came as a side effect of her bone marrow treatment. Turns out, the girl’s father had reached out to Kombosos through Facebook so he could impart some inspiration.
