Jake Wyllie gains advantage from Kambosos' no-show

sportingnews.com

Jake Wyllie is feeling confident ahead of his upcoming fight against George Kambosos. Wyllie's confidence grew after Kambosos did not show up for a media event in Sydney, which Wyllie said puts him "one round up." Kambosos, a former lightweight world champion, missed a promotional photoshoot due to a schedule conflict with his training. Wyllie recently stepped in as a last-minute replacement for another fighter. He has been preparing for a different fight on April 6 but was excited for this opportunity. Wyllie believes he can surprise Kambosos, stating that he can bring a style of boxing that the former champion has not faced before. Many others in the boxing community had expressed interest in fighting Kambosos after the news of the original opponent's withdrawal. Wyllie is currently the Australian champion and sees this fight as a chance to change his life. Promoter Eddie Hearn supported Wyllie, calling him ready for the challenge. He also mentioned that if Kambosos wins, he will get a shot at the IBF champion later this year. However, if Wyllie wins, it could lead to a bright future for him in boxing. The anticipation is high as both fighters prepare for their match at Qudos Bank Arena this Saturday.
