Comments Thread For: Arum: Kambosos in Australia is My First Choice For Lomachenko
Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, who promotes three division champion Vasiliy Lomachenko, says his boxer is highly motivated to face WBO, IBF, WBC Franchise, WBA lightweight champion George Kambosos. [Click Here To Read More]
After Haney's twitter feud with Kambosos, which clearly is not endearing him to the ferocious one, it is becoming clearer and clearer who Kambosos will fight next: Lomachenko. That is if we don't have further COVID complications, which would force Kambosos to fight a fellow Australian. He might do that anyway, but this Haney fight is going down the drain, as well as it should. And if I recall, Lomachenko won the poll that Kambosos put up, showing that the majority of fans want to see George fight Loma.
The writing is on the wall. It's either Loma by negotiation or Loma by WBO mandatory.
Both Haney and Loma beat Kambosos rather easily. With that being said, Kambosos should cash out against whoever represents a bigger payday. At least secure financial security for your family from the ass whopping.
You'd think this has to go Haney's way . Dazn is investing heavily in Australia, Kambosos apparently wants a three fight deal. Can Bob outbid them ? If Heney does win he's still a free agent and could fight Loma on ESPN in the States after anyway.

There's no way Haney is fighting Loma. He wouldn't accept less than $5 million to fight Loma (more than anyone would ever pay him to fight anybody) but he accepts $1 million to fight JoJo Diaz. That tells you all you need to know what Haney's intentions are. Let Loma fight Kambosos, that way Haney has no choice but to fight the winner. If Haney manages to beat Kambosos first, then he's absolutely ditching the belts and moving up to 40 right away. He'll avoid Loma anyway he can, unless Loma has all the belts. Haney might even move up anyway, but at least if Loma has the belts, it might look so bad if Haney were to do that that he'd cave to pressure and fight Loma.
Kambosos is getting Teo Lopez disease: he fights tooth and mail to barely upset a champion who clearly wasn’t 100% physically right on the night and then spends months deluding himself into thinking the boxing universe revolves around him. Either Loma or Haney beats him but after years of watching Loma’s predictable fights - plus his off-putting arrogance - I’d like to see Haney get the shot.
