The day Kambosos showed he’s the man by taking it to ‘The Man’ | proshenks
When Anthony Mundine was in his prime, one of his semi-regular sparring partners was a young George Kambosos jnr.
“I was like, you’re serious, so I stepped it up a bit. I put it back on him. I thought I better let this bloke know who is boss, but he didn’t break down. He’s always had that fight and belief in him.“It was an even sparring session, even though I was a lot bigger guy. He definitely left a mark in my mind.”
Mundine and another of Kambosos’ sparring partners, boxing legend Manny Pacquiao, are expected to be among the ringside supporters when the Australian takes on American Devin Haney at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on June 5. The winner will hold all of the belts in the lightweight division and become just the eighth undisputed world champion across all weight divisions since the four-belt era began in 2004.
