The fight, which is promoted by Matchroom Boxing, Eddie Hearn, Selby vs Kambosos Live Match will be happening by the SKY Sports television channel in the UK and DAZN.

George Kambosos Jr. says he has been training 'like a possessed man' before his crucial IVF light world title playoff final showdown with Lee Selby on the Usyk-Chisora billboard on Saturday, October 31, broadcast live by Sky Sports Box Office in the UK and DAZN in the US.

A victory for the undefeated Australian (18-0, 10 KOs) would make him the mandatory challenger to the newly crowned undisputed light-heavyweight king Teofimo Lopez, who brilliantly surpassed Vasiliy Lomachenko by unanimous points decision in Las Vegas on Saturday.


FIGHT: Selby vs Kambosos Jr

Date: October 31, 2020

Venue: Motorpoint Arena, Cardiff

Start Time: 7:00 pm AEST

TV Network: Sky Sports UK, DAZN


Having from Sydney, Kambosos Jr, 27, announced himself as a rising contender in the 135-pound division by defeating former world champion Mickey Bey in away territory at Madison Square Garden in New York last time.

'Ferocious' will aim to achieve two victories in two against former champions when faced with wales' former IVF featherweight ruler Selby next weekend on an inescapable Halloween fighting action night.

"Beating Lee Selby means everything to me," Kambosos Jr. said, "I'm hungry, I'm focused, and I've trained like a man possessed to run a business on October 31. This is a sport for young men and Lopez proved it against Lomachenko when he became the unified lightweight world champion and I will prove it once again against Lee Selby.

"This hungry young lion will become obligatory, that's my complete approach, that's why I've sacrificed so much and then you'd better think 'Ferocious Kambosos' will be ready and ready to take off all the belts of another hungry young lion in Teofimo Lopez. Let's see who the real king of the jungle is."

Selby (28-2, 9 KOs) surpassed Scottish legend Ricky Burns through a majority decision at The O2 in London last October to stay online for another world title opportunity and is now within walking distance of becoming a two-weight world champion.

"He has a lot of self-confidence," Selby said. "If you heard him speak, you'd think he's the next Muhammad Ali, which isn't the case. Looking at his record, it's hard to assess how good he really is. His best win was against Mickey Bey when he surpassed his best level at 36 and was inactive. The rest of his record is padded.

"This fight has taken a long time to arrive and I'm glad we're just over a week away. I am one step away from an opportunity for the IVF lightweight world title and my dream of becoming the first two-weight world champion in Wales."

Lee Selby vs George Kambosos Jr. is part of a great night of boxing when pound-for-pound star Oleksandr Usyk (17-0, 13 KOs) faces his first real heavyweight test at Derek Chisora (32-9, 23 KOs), a heavyweight fan. favorite Dave Allen (18-5-2, 15 KOs) collides with Christian Hammer (25-6 15 KOs), Tommy McCarthy of Belfast (16-2, 8 KOs) faces Belgian Bilal Laggoune (25-1-2, 14 KOs) for the vacant European cruiserweight title, and Amy Timlin (4-0) confronts Carly Skelly (3-0) for the vacant Commonwealth super-heavyweight title.
