Update
Eight days before the highly anticipated fight between Kambosos Jnr and Yordan, the 37-year-old Indonesian was hospitalized due to exhaustion from overtraining. Yordan is already feeling better, however, he will focus on his health for now before heading back to the ring. The cancellation of the fight, was trouble enough for the promoter Eddie Hearn to lose sleep. However, Jake Wyllie traded his ticket at the stands to replace Yordan and take on Kambosos Jnr.
Jake ‘The Machine’ Wyllie, who has seen his fight against Allan Villanueva called off last month due to a horrible cut above his opponent’s left eye, is already in good condition to challenge Kambosos Jnr in an all Aussie main event bout. The 24-year-old Australian has an impressive record of 16 wins and 1 loss, 15 of those wins by way of knockouts. Despite his less experience, compared to his opponent, his knockout rate is something to consider.
Both fighters are positive about the fight. With Kambosos Jnr promising to give Wyllie a “Rocky story”, and the obvious pressure on the young substitute, this bout is most probably not going to be decided by points.
