Is George Cambosos Jr Elite or one hit?

Unfortunately, Daud Yordan had to withdraw from his upcoming medical duel, so now the former unification of the lithe world George Cambosos JR will face Jake Wyllie (16-1, 15 Kos) on Saturday evening on March 22 at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia, live in Dazn.
With a slightly less than a week to prepare for the fight, 24-year-old Jake Wyllie inherited a gigantic opportunity. The opponent Wyllie is a former world champion, but from the point of view of status it is not yet possible to determine whether George Cambosos is an elite or one hit.
In November 2021, George Cambosos was a little known 13-1 weaker when he faced the unified Master of the Featherlight World Teofimo Lopez. In the last seconds of the round of opening Cambosos, he stunned the crowd in Recent York when he landed in the right side of the shot that dropped Lopez.
The defending master, Teofimo Lopez, would reverse a favor to the 10th, when he landed in his right hand, which she sent Cambosos on canvas. The match was a battle in this and back, which went a distance because Cambosos won as a result of a fractional decision.
Cambosos would return home to Australia to face the WBC Devin Haney champion. In the battle for the undisputed Devin Haney dominated when he thoroughly poured Cambosos and won a unanimous decision.
Four months later, on October 16, 2022, Cambosos entered the square circle to make a rematch against Haney. Once again, Haney was better because he clearly went outside Cambosos for 12 rounds.
After dropping two consecutive matches to Haneya, it was time for Cambosos to show that his victory against Teofimo Lopez was not a fuchs. The plan was that Cambosos proved to be dominant and showing that it was a level above Maxi Hughes.
On the night of the fight, things did not go according to plan, because Maxi Hughes was very competitive. Hughes was able to keep the fight close, but ultimately George Cambosos had a majority decision and won the lithe IBO title.
Cambosos would continue and for the third time in two years he entered the ring to face the competition at a high level. Unfortunately, for George Cambosos, this would mean the third time when he would lose to an elite competitor.
In May 2024, George Cambosos was to face Vasiliy Lomachenko. With 31 seconds in the 11th round, bruised and bloody Cambosos fell when Lomachenko landed firmly on his body.
Cambosos was able to get up, but a few seconds later he went for the second and last time, when Lomachenko landed another solid left to the body. Now 31-year-old George Cambosos Jr (21-3, 10 KO) can be one step away from the fight for the title of world champion.
If Cambosos is able to defeat Jake Wyllie on March 22, the world champion at Super Featherlight in the weight of IBF Richardson Hitchins has already verbally committed to giving Cambosos a shot in the title of 140 pounds. Usually the claimant has a master on his radar, but in this case Hitchins attacks Cambosos.
The boxing community is one of those groups that like to apply labels, but when it comes to George Cambosos, it is arduous to put it in a specific category. Cambosos was a united champion, but if he defeats Jake Wyllie and lost to Richardson Hitchins, will he strengthen the label of one hit?
On the other hand, if Cambosos defeats Wyllie and then overcomes the qualified Richardson Hitchins Ring technique, will Cambosos be included in the grouping with elite names? For now, Cambosos may not be among the elite, but there is an elite in one particular category.
Aussie boxer George Cambosos has proved that it is a cash attraction. In his first duel against Devin Haney at the Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia, the event attracted a crowd of 41,129 fans.
George Cambosos is a qualified boxer who was lucky to get unexpected nervousness. If the fight against Richardson Hitchins materializes and Cambosos loses, it can seal his faith, because he refers to fans unfairly classifying him as a wonderful miracle.
In fact, George Cambosos is not one hit, he is a former united world champion who is not afraid that he is taking on the most arduous challenges.

Bill Haney commented on the Keyshawn Davis situation, says Shakur Stevenson’s fight is the most significant

“This man said he wanted the number 144,” Bill told Fight Hub TV. “He said, ‘We’ve got to sit down like businessmen and make this happen,’ right? Well, we’ve already sat down like businessmen. We’re ready to make it happen.”
Elder Haney also rejected suggestions that the catchweight proposal would represent a sudden change of plans.
“It’s not so sudden. 144 is a welterweight. Are you crazy or what?” Haney said. “At welterweight, we range from 140 to 147.”
As the conversation turned to Keyshawn Davis and his position as a top contender for the WBO title, Haney repeatedly pointed to what he believed to be a better opportunity.
“What is the most significant boxing fight going on right now?” Haney asked. “Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney.”
Haney acknowledged that Davis remains part of the bigger picture, but pointed out that Stevenson’s matchup has been years in the making.
“This case has been brewing for seven, eight, nine, 10 years, whatever it was,” Haney said. “Just rest and we’ll get it done. He’s on the list. He was on the list before he was on the list, and he’ll stay on the list.”
Time will tell if the fight comes to fruition, but Bill Haney’s comments were perhaps the strongest indication yet that Team Haney is sedate about racing Stevenson at the proposed catchweight of 144 pounds.
The situation could become more complicated if the WBO formally orders Haney to fulfill his mandatory obligation to Davis. Until then, it appears the Haneys are turning their attention to what they believe is the biggest fight available.

Oscar De La Hoya says Gervonta Davis doesn’t deserve to have an undefeated record before her comeback

Oscar De La Hoya believes Gervonta Davis’ professional record should see a loss ahead of his potential comeback fight.
It is said that the 31-year-old is in negotiations for a fight for the WBA lightweight title with Floyd Schofield Jr, offering “Tank” the opportunity to regain his elderly belt.
Davis defended his world title after: controversial draw with Lamont Roach in March 2025, but has since become the sanctioning body’s “halt champion” at 135 pounds.
This is partly due to his passivity, but also to the American’s problems outside the ring, where he faced accusations of domestic violence.
However, it currently appears that Davis could return to action soon, with a potential fight with Schofield set for September or October.
These negotiations involve Schofield’s promoter, Golden Boy boss De La Hoya, who insists that “Tank” should suffer his first professional defeat in the match against Roach.
Their match ended in a draw after referee Steve Willis ruled against a knockdown in round nine when Davis clearly touched the canvas following a shot by Roach.
As a result, De La Hoya said Fighting Hub TV that Roach should have back-to-back victories over “Tank” and Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz, whom he boxed in December to a less controversial draw.
“Roach is a great fighter in his own right. He has some really good wins under his belt. I say he wins because I think he really won against ‘Tank’ Davis and I think he did a great job against ‘Pitbull.’
If Davis and Schofield’s respective teams are unable to reach an agreement by June 22, their mandate quarterback will be sent to a bidding hearing.

Shakur Stevenson accuses Devin Haney of ‘false public negotiations’ after £144 settlement
Published

Potential negotiations between Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson have taken another public turn after Stevenson accused his rival of engaging in “false public negotiations” following Haney’s latest comments on social media.
Haney appeared frustrated after previously agreeing to Stevenson’s proposed catchweight of 144 pounds, suggesting that even accepting those terms did not bring the fight any closer to becoming a reality.
“144 is not enough…I still don’t want to fight! Damn…@ShakurStevenson,” Haney wrote X.
Shakur later responded by dismissing this public exchange as a impoverished reflection of how main event fights actually unfold.
“The same thing you all did with Rolly. All those counterfeit public negotiations… The real negotiations take place offline.” I am the truth that you will see when you stand before me!!” Shakur posted.
Shakiur previously considered 144 pounds to be a fair compromise in a potential showdown with Haney, who has competed at welterweight in his most recent outings. Haney then signaled his willingness to accept the catchweight offer, sparking optimism that one of boxing’s most talked-about fights could gain momentum.
The latest exchange came shortly after the WBO confirmed that Haney must either defend his welterweight title against mandatory challenger Keyshawn Davis or risk losing the belt. While neither Haney nor Stevenson directly addressed the situation in their recent posts, the article did add another note to any future negotiations involving the former two-division world champions.
With Haney facing a WBO title decision and Shakur insisting that stern negotiations will take place behind closed doors, the pressure is now on both camps to determine whether the fight can go beyond an online exchange.
