Kambosos on how he views his fight with Lomachenko

“I think you’ve seen me extremely outspoken, Lou as well. I’m not going to sit here and create a big fuss and carry on. Lomachenko, you can’t fault the guy when it comes to who he is as a person and the fighter he is but I’m extremely confident. I bring that confidence from my preparation. I’ve had a tremendous training camp.

“When I beat Lomachenko there will be no more road for him to go, so this is retirement for him.”
