George Kambosos Jr. blew up his stack on social media, responding to criticism regarding his homecoming in Sydney, Australia, on March 22.
Former three-belt lightweight champion Kambosos (21-3, 10 KOs) announced to his 83,000 followers on X that he will head to his hometown of Sydney for a “huge card” on May 22.

Ray discusses Kambosos Jr.'s lopsided and humiliating 12 round unanimous decision loss to Devin Haney In 2022 in Melbourne, Australia. In response to Ray's harsh criticism, Kambosos spoke about his family and his job as a forklift operator.
Jackson is right that it would be great for Kambosos to win for a change in front of his fans in Australia because Haney dominated him in back-to-back fights the last time he was home. If Kambosos keeps losing, no Australian will want to see his fights. Kambosos Jr's record is 1-3 in his last 4 starts since 2022. He should be 0-4 if you consider the Maxi Hughes game a loss.
The last time Kambosos Jr. won a fight in Australia was nine years ago, when he was undefeated Brandon Ogilvy via a 12-round unanimous decision on December 2, 2016 in Sydney.
Former IBF, WBA, and WBO lightweight champion Ring Kambosos Jr.'s career has hit rock bottom in the past three years, losing twice to Haney, being knocked out by Vasiliy Lomachenko, and winning a questionable 12-round majority decision against Maxie Hughes. .
Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn recently signed Kambosos to a multi-fight contract in late 2024, and he will make his debut at 140 on March 22 in Sydney. Hearn hasn't said what he intends to do with Kambosos, but it's possible he pushes him towards the title against Teofimo Lopez in a rematch.
In Kambosos' first fight against Haney at Marvel Stadium, they fought in front of a large crowd 41,129. For the rematch between Haney and Kambosos Jr. on October 16, 2022, at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, the crowd was much smaller, with only 13,128. This suggests that Kambosos' appeal in Australia declined after his first loss to Haney.
Not as bad as your mother got beat up last night while she was working in the corner and not as bad as she's going to get beat up when they throw away the keys in jail, you fat ugly bastard.
