Kambosos Earns Title Shot After Sydney Victory

George Kambosos Jr. secured a world title shot against undefeated IBF super-lightweight champion Richardson Hitchins after overcoming Jake Wyllie in Sydney. Originally set to face Daud Yordan, Kambosos had to pivot when Yordan withdrew due to medical reasons, and Wyllie stepped in on short notice. Despite being cut above the eye, Kambosos won by unanimous decision with scores of 117-111, 117-111, and 115-113. Wyllie, the Australian 140lb champion, displayed resilience, but Kambosos's experience and skill prevailed. Kambosos, previously known for defeating Teofimo Lopez, has faced tough competition, including losses to Devin Haney and Vasiliy Lomachenko. He now aims to capitalize on his victory and challenge Hitchins for the world title.
