On June 5, George Kambosos Jr. will step inside the boxing ring against the face of the lightweight division, Teofimo Lopez. The pair are all set to collide with each other for an exemplary lightweight title unification fight. Both fighters will look to put on clinical performances at the Triller event.

Ahead of the fight, the mental warfare between Kambosos Jr. and Lopez has already begun. But for now, it’s only the Australian pugilist who’s painting shots at the unified lightweight king. In a fresh conversation with Fighthype, he said, “As I said, I’m coming to take this kid’s head off.”

“It’s a real fight. I triggered him really fast. It’s mental warfare, and I’m the best when it comes to that. Not only am I an elite fighter, but mentally, I destroy guys.”
