- George Kambosos Jr has broken his silence
- The Australian was defeated by Vasiliy Lomachenko
- He has promised to recover from his loss.
A devastated George Kambosos Jr says he “gave everything” in his failed title fight in Perth as the Australian addressed his fans for the first time since his loss to Vasiliy Lomachenko.
Kambosos was outmatched by the wily Ukrainian veteran, 36, from start to finish before succumbing to two sickening body shots to lose by knockout in the 11th round.
It leaves many questions about the future of the Australian fighter, having suffered three defeats in his last four fights.
But a defiant Kambosos insists he will never duck a challenge in his first message to fans.
“I gave it my all, I never picked anyone, I always went for the best and toughest challengers,” he said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
