Kambosos downplays Wyllie's knockout threat before fight
George Kambosos is preparing to fight Jake Wyllie in a main event match in Sydney on Saturday. Wyllie is stepping in with less than a week’s notice after Daud Yordan pulled out. Wyllie has a professional record of 16 wins and 1 loss, with 15 of those victories coming by knockout. Kambosos, with a record of 21 wins and 3 losses, downplayed Wyllie’s knockout power during a press conference. He acknowledged Wyllie's impressive record but suggested that many of his opponents were not strong fighters. "It’s easy when you’re knocking out 15 plums," Kambosos said. He expressed confidence in his ability, stating he will not lose to Wyllie. Kambosos described Wyllie as having a similar style to Yordan but lacking experience. He believes Wyllie has weaknesses that he can exploit. Kambosos aims to achieve his first knockout victory since 2019 in this fight. Wyllie, on the other hand, thinks Kambosos is beatable. He stated, "If we could only get our hands on him, it’d be such a great fight." Kambosos dismissed this, arguing that Wyllie is not on the same level as champions like Devin Haney or Vasiliy Lomachenko. He aims to prove his skills in the ring on Saturday night.
