Since suffering back-to-back losses to Devin Haney in 2022, many had written George Kambosos Jr. off. Even when he scraped by with a 12-round unanimous decision win over Maxi Hughes in 2023, critics still weren’t convinced. And then came the Vasiliy Lomachenko fight in 2024, where Kambosos hit the canvas again. Another high-profile fight, another tough loss. At that point, the whispers grew louder—was Kambosos done for good? Looking to reinvent himself, Kambosos decided to move up a weight class and was originally set to face veteran Daud Yordan on March 22. Yordan, fresh off a 9th-round KO win over Hernan Leandro Carrizo, had solid momentum behind him, and many predicted another loss for Kambosos. But fate had other plans.
Just days before fight night, Yordan was hospitalized due to overtraining. With him out, the younger and much fresher Jake Wyllie stepped in on short notice. Wyllie, just 24, had youth and power on his side. But he was also stepping into the ring barely a month after a grueling draw against Allan Villanueva. That raised a new question—could Wyllie bring the heat with such a quick turnaround? Turns out, both men had something to prove.
Wyllie brought the pressure, fought hard, and made Kambosos work every round. But when the final bell rang, it was George Kambosos Jr. who had his hand raised. And it wasn’t just a win—it was a statement. After three long years of setbacks and self-doubt, The Ferocious reclaimed something bigger than just a victory. He reclaimed his spotlight, his voice, and most of all—he shut up the doubters. And his recent X post is the living proof of that.

Earlier today, George Kambosos Jr. felt spicy. And honestly? He’s earned the right to talk his talk. Kambosos revealed, “My last fight holds currently the highest viewership globally on @DAZNBoxingthis year 🌎🔝.” Yep, you read that right. Not just that, the digital numbers were off the charts, and the gate attendance? Way better than anyone expected months in advance.
Just heard some great news that my last fight holds currently the highest viewership globally on @DAZNBoxing this year 🌎🔝 Huge numbers and performed even bigger digitally, the analytics where incredible let alone an even better gate attendance than we set out to reach months…

“Numbers don’t lie. All these other Fugazis especially in Australian boxing ya bum rats, that keep spreading lies and false info. Keep talking, keep watching,” he wrote. Then he dropped his final numbers. He said, “Just remember that 33 million dollar gate and over 85k ticket sales in my last few here, and I pocketed a big percentage of that.” Finally, he wrapped it all up with some serious heat. “Suck my big rich b–ls, we back in the Championship. And new 🔜🏆.“
Like… tell us how you really feel, champion! Bottom line? Kambosos Jr. is back in the mix, riding high on numbers that don’t lie—and he wants everyone (especially his critics) to know it loud and clear. And now that the rhythm is back, and the motion is set, what’s next for George Kambosos Jr.?
What’s your perspective on:
Can Kambosos' fiery spirit overcome Hitchins' undefeated record, or is he biting off more than he can chew?

George Kambosos Jr. “Sh-t Chins” his next opponent
If you’ve been following boxing, then you’d already know. But for those who lost track, here’s everything you missed. Last month, Everything Boxing dropped some spicy news on X. The caption read, “🚨 HITCHINS-KAMBOSOS NEXT! ✅ Eddie Hearn has said that they have a date for the Richardson Hitchins-George Kambosos IBF super lightweight world title fight.🤝 If Kambosos is ready for that date and agrees a deal, the fight is on.”

And honestly? This matchup just makes sense. Richardson Hitchins (19-0, 7 KOs) snagged the IBF title from Liam Paro last December in Puerto Rico. And now he might be going up against Aussie, George Kambosos Jr. Naturally, Kambosos’ camp would love to bring the fight home to Australia (who wouldn’t want that crowd and cash?).

From a business angle, this fight’s a no-brainer. Both fighters are with Matchroom Boxing, so there’s no big political mess to deal with. Plus, somehow, George Kambosos is ranked No. 3 by the IBF. Now, fresh off his win over Jake Wyllie, Kambosos is feeling hyped. Meanwhile, Hitchins? He’s young, undefeated, and slick on defense. Moreover, he’s not the type to stand in the pocket and slug it out.
Kambosos is already stirring the pot, calling Hitchins “Shit-chins” and saying, “If he comes and brings a brawl, better for me, but I know he’ll run.” He’s clearly fired up and ready to go all in. But here’s the big question: Can George Kambosos pull off another upset? Or will the younger, sharper Richardson Hitchins teach him a lesson? Drop your take below! We want to hear what you think.
