"If you take on the head..." Russia predicted big problems for Lomachenko

Former world heavyweight champion Grigory Drozd expressed confidence that George Kambosos (21-2, 10 KOs) will put up a fight and create problems for Vasyl Lomachenko (17-3, 11 KOs) in their May 12 fight. The former Russian boxer urged not to write off the Australian.

Drozd said this in an interview with the propaganda TV channel Match TV. According to him, Cambosos will be able to compete with Lomachenko, as he will probably be in good shape for the fight in front of his home fans, while the Ukrainian will be hampered by his age.

"We haven't seen Vasia Lomachenko in action for a long time. Time does not stand still. If Kambosos gets his head on straight and he's in good shape, and Lomachenko will be in good shape... Kambosos will be able to compete, and quite well. I would not write Cambosos off. I think we will have a very competitive fight," Drozd said.

As a reminder, the Lomachenko-Kambosos fight will take place in Perth. Last week it became known that Ukraine refused to broadcast the fight. Fans were told where to watch the fight in this case.

Earlier, Cambosos shared his expectations for the fight with Lomachenko, promising to knock the Ukrainian's head off. Vasyl and George were supposed to fight in the summer of 2022, but the Ukrainian refused because Russia attacked Ukraine. At the same time, the Australian recently got into a scandal by inviting a Russian boxer who supports the war to his camp to prepare for the fight.

After it became known that Vasyl and George were going to fight, the Ukrainian was excluded from several world rankings. Lomachenko himself came to the meeting with Ukrainians in Perth wearing a T-shirt with a picture of a dove of peace.
