George Kambosos Jr. Confident About Knocking Out ‘Glass Jaw’ Teofimo Lopez

The unified Lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez is all set to put up his titles on the line against George Kambosos Jr next. The 12-round bout will take place on Saturday, June 19 at the LoanDepot Park in Miami, Florida.

‘Ferocious’ is the number one contender and the mandatory challenger for Lopez’s first title defense. Coming into the fight, he is confident in his abilities and believes that he will hand Lopez his first career defeat. He sees a clear path to victory: A violent knockout.

Kambosos had recently taken to social media to point out his opponent’s weakness: his chin. He suspects that his opponent’s chin would not hold up to his offense.

In a recent interview with Behind the Gloves, the Australian said, “Well, look, it’s evident. We have seen it in the sparring session. I saw some footage of him as well, of him getting put down. I feel that he does have a glass jaw, I feel that if you hit him clean, with the speed and the power that I am possessing at this stage of my career, I’ll put him down. I’ll put him to sleep.”

Kambosos’s coming-out party was when he took on Lee Selby. The fight, which went the distance, saw Kambosos display his speed and devastating right, which he used to wobble his opponent frequently. He earned the number one contender spot with the IBF and WBO after the fight.
