Vasily Lomachenko is not bothered by George Kambosos Jr.’s threats of retiring him in their upcoming match for the IBF lightweight title. Lomachenko sees Kambosos’ remarks as a tactic to try to unsettle him but views it as part of the game and remains unfazed.
Despite Kambosos using mind games effectively against Teofimo Lopez before, Lomachenko, an accomplished boxer with two Olympic gold medals and three world championships, is not likely to be affected. He stays calm and focused even as his opponent tries to undermine his confidence.
Kambosos will have to bring his best performance as his recent fights against Maxi Hughes and Devin Haney have not been impressive. Going up against a formidable opponent like Lomachenko poses a significant challenge for Kambosos.
While Kambosos might be headed towards another loss, Top Rank Boxing still sees potential in retaining him. He could serve as a test for emerging lightweight contenders, helping them gain experience and exposure in the ring.
In the face of Kambosos’ retirement threats, Lomachenko remains unperturbed, knowing that it is all just talk. He stresses the significance of actions over words in boxing and stays concentrated on the upcoming fight. Both fighters are preparing for a fierce battle between two skilled competitors in the ring.
