00:00:00Hasn't it this week, of course, Australian champion Jake Wiley looking to gate crash into the world rankings when he takes on former Unified World Champion George Kambosis Jr. in the headline act here in Sydney.
00:00:12Kambosis on paper, the big favourite as he looks to put his name back into the world title picture later this year in a red hot super lightweight division.
00:00:21But listening to Jake Wiley speak this week, he certainly is not here to make up the numbers.
00:00:26New South Wales versus Queensland up next.
00:00:30Hey, listen up.
00:00:36Let's have it.
00:00:36We know you've always got your eye on the prize, the championship belt.
00:00:40And why wouldn't you?
00:00:41You're a finely chewed, well-oiled boxing watching machine capable of consuming over 185 fights on The Zone every year.
00:00:50We've gone big, we've gone global.
00:00:52Churning through combinations, comebacks and non-stop knockouts.
00:00:55Are you going to turn?
00:00:56With big fights every week, you're the best in the world.
00:00:59So go on, get that belt.
00:01:01Champ, The Zone.
00:01:02Undisputed.
00:01:03Since 2019, I've only fought former world champions, world champions, undisputed champions all in a row.
00:01:12Powerful pounders, Olympic gold medalists, two-time Olympic gold medalists, all the famous, all in a row.
00:01:18Dwyer, you're done a two-time NBA world champion as well in my next fight at 140.
00:01:22So I've continuously fought 12-round championship fights against all former world champs or undisputed champions.
00:01:33Yeah, they do that.
00:01:35Many of them actually can do that here together.
00:01:37Look, old school fighter, old school warrior, old school mentality and at the end of the day, boxing and combat sports is a gift that you have and you've got to have big balls and a big heart to be able to get in that ring and face your opponent.
00:01:54But George is made and cut from a different cloth.
00:01:57And at the end of the day, when you look at boxing and you look at some of those historical fights, right, that was old school fighters who would fight each other no matter what.
00:02:06Yeah, look at the Muhammad Ali's.
00:02:08Look at the Roberto Duran's.
00:02:10The Haglis, man.
00:02:10The Haglis.
00:02:11They all got losses.
00:02:13Yeah.
00:02:13They all got losses.
00:02:14They fought wars.
00:02:14And imagine they retired after one loss or two losses.
00:02:17They're not warriors, mate.
00:02:19Nah.
00:02:19All they are is they're the great escape, the Houdini's.
00:02:22I never look at it.
00:02:23It's not wins and losses.
00:02:24It's wins and lessons.
00:02:25Yeah.
00:02:25You keep getting up.
00:02:27We lose.
00:02:28Everybody loses in life and everything.
00:02:30We lose every day.
00:02:31You don't lose.
00:02:32You just keep bouncing back.
00:02:33And that's how I'm in my sport.
00:02:35And it's a sport.
00:02:35I'm a warrior in my chosen sport.
00:02:38And I keep doing what I do best.
00:02:44I keep doing what I do best.
00:03:14I'm a fighter.
00:03:16I'm a fighter.
00:03:17Yeah, you're a fighter.

00:03:35This one lay clean and take fighter fighter fighter to be.
00:03:37Good resort.
00:03:38And, obviously, many people in Arizona, mother andками,
00:03:40you know hopper to be.
00:03:40Yeah, but he loved the girl.
00:03:41Yeah, yeah.
00:03:42And during the ride.
00:03:43But yeah, for Goal, I just... I love his mentality.
00:03:47Fighting style, but more than mentality, I just fight everybody.
00:03:51Fight Gatti, same, Tori, Gatti, same.
00:03:54Just fight everybody, man.
00:03:56Forget this zero, fight the best, go to war every time,
00:04:02and give the fans what they want.
00:04:04Well, there certainly is no game, is there, like this boxing game.
00:04:15We love these types of stories in the sport that we love.
00:04:18Jake Wiley steps in on no more than a week's notice.
00:04:22He bought tickets to come to the fight here at the Kudos Bank Arena tonight
00:04:26because he wanted to surround himself in a big show in the 140-pound division.
00:04:30But he's been full of confidence all week,
00:04:32and I believe George Cambosis Jr. is very much beatable,
00:04:35and he's here to rip up the script and change his life
00:04:38and his career in the process tonight.
00:04:42My coach Luke and I, we had tickets booked for this fight.
00:04:47Wherever Eddie Hearn is, need the money back, mate.
00:04:51This is my everything.
00:04:52It almost makes me emotional to be fighting George Cambosis
00:04:56on a headline event here in Sydney in his hometown.
00:04:59For me, it doesn't get any bigger.
00:05:01I was asleep, and I heard my phone start vibrating
00:05:05and thought, I better check just who this is, and it was Steve Della.
00:05:09I answered the phone.
00:05:10He said, mate, he said, George Cambosis' opponent is out.
00:05:14Are you willing to step up and take the fight?
00:05:15And without any hesitation, I take this fight.
00:05:18I remember just putting my hands up, like, oh, my God, I'm fighting George Cambosis.
00:05:23If George doesn't take me 100% seriously, his career's over.
00:05:27If there's a smell of his hurt or there's blood or whatever, then that's it.
00:05:32It's all over.
00:05:33This won't be any Rocky story.
00:05:35I've just got to do what I need to do, and I'll beat George Cambosis.
00:05:42Ben David is back with me from ringside.
00:05:44Ben, the countdown to the main event well and truly on now.
00:05:46When you listen to what Jake Wiley's saying there, look,
00:05:49if George Cambosis does not take me 100% seriously, his career's over here tonight.
00:05:53What a story and what an opportunity for Jake Wiley.
00:05:56Yeah, well, we just saw Tiara Brown change her life
00:05:58with a great performance here in Sydney.
00:06:01Jake Wiley has the opportunity to do the same thing.
00:06:03He has come from relative obscurity onto this big stage here,
00:06:07and now he gets a chance to do something that would have been unthinkable to him
00:06:11at previous stages of his career.
00:06:13He was preparing for a fight.
00:06:15He was going to fight on the Tim Zu Joey Spencer undercard in a few weeks,
00:06:18so he's fit, he's ready.
00:06:20He's just got to get out there and do it against your career.
00:06:22George Cambosis here tonight.
00:06:24Absolutely.
00:06:25All the pressure, you have to say, on George Cambosis Jr. tonight to win,
00:06:28if he is, to lock in a shot at the likes of Richardson Hitchens
00:06:31on his quest to becoming a two-way world champion.
00:06:35Well, here I am again, one fight away from more championship glory.
00:06:39This is the next step of my career.
00:06:41This is the 140 phase.
00:06:42Never got the opportunity to bring a big fight back to my city,
00:06:46have the city buzzing, and I'm very excited to do it here in my hometown.
00:06:50I've always had to, you know, kill myself to make that 61.2, 135 limit,
00:06:54especially as I got older, it got harder to make,
00:06:56and as I, you know, got in the ring these last few fights,
00:07:00I wasn't my usual self.
00:07:01So, yeah, 140 is amazing.
00:07:03Weight is fantastic.
00:07:04I feel strong, and I'm looking forward to showcasing why there's a difference
00:07:09between a worldwide fighter, a former champion, to a domestic guy.
00:07:14You know, I want to make a statement.
00:07:15I want to bring back that old ferocious Cambosis
00:07:18and shake up that world again and building even more legacy
00:07:23for Australian boxing and world boxing.
00:07:25That's my desire, nothing else.
00:07:27Right now, my focus is on Jake Wiley.
00:07:29This is your lucky story.
00:07:31You get a shot, but, no, you will not be victorious.
00:07:35Yes, George Camposas Jr.
00:07:37Targeting a big statement tonight, Ben, to get back to winning ways.
00:07:40Like I say, he is to attract the attention of the champions
00:07:43in a red-hot 140-pound division.
00:07:45How do you think he'll want to beat Jake Wiley tonight?
00:07:47Yeah, well, he has promised to make a statement here tonight,
00:07:50so he'll want to bring him onto something big
00:07:52and to show that he still has that punching power.
00:07:55We haven't seen him knock someone out for a while.
00:07:57He's confident he's going to do that right here tonight.
00:08:00And if he wants to put Richardson Hitchens and others on notice,
00:08:04then he really has to do something like that against Jake Wiley.
00:08:06There is pressure on him, but he has thrived under that sort of pressure before.
00:08:10He doesn't lack self-belief, George Camposas,
00:08:13and we expect to see that out here again tonight.
00:08:16It is the fairytale story for Jake Wiley,
00:08:19but for George Camposas, he thinks it should be business as usual,
00:08:22and he thinks he should be winning through to another shot at a world title.
00:08:26And what a journey it has been for him in recent years.
00:08:29Okay, well, the talking is over.
00:08:30Let's get George Camposas Jr. and Jake Wiley in the ring.
00:08:33But first is your MC, David Diamante.

00:24:41the guys at the upper levels can just take advantage of what you've got.
00:24:45And this is what George Kambosis is trying to do, looking for them

00:25:07He does have power.
00:25:09He'll look to deliver something.
00:25:11The left hand of Kambosis is what is dictating this fight so far.
00:25:17Yeah, Kambosis being very economical, not overworking, not killing too much energy,
00:25:22just touching and using that explosion where and when he needs to.
00:25:27Wiley looks for that right hand.
00:25:31And he tries to find Kambosis again.
00:25:33That's a good shot again from Kambosis.
00:25:37Accurate punching when he has his moments.
00:25:40Fast.
00:25:42Stop.
00:25:47Stop.
00:25:48Stop.
00:25:49Stop.
00:25:50Stop.
00:25:51Stop.
00:25:52Stop.
00:25:53Stop.
00:25:54Stop.
00:25:55Stop.
00:25:56Stop.
00:25:58.
00:26:06.
00:26:08.
00:26:10Reaching out to the body with the right hand is Wiley.
00:26:12.
00:26:16Nice jab from Kambosis.
00:26:18Kambosis has the edge in speed and that's when he fires off
00:26:20with them fast combinations, the rapid work looks very good.
00:26:25On two and three from Kambosis.
00:26:28And there's another left hook, two and another.
00:26:31They're big shots to end the round, much like the first.
00:26:35Wiley stood up well to them.
00:26:41And they threw down at the end of the second, but...
00:26:46.
00:26:48.
00:26:54Jake Wiley saying there's nothing to worry about with those left hooks.
00:26:57.
00:27:01.
00:27:03.
00:27:05Well, those left hooks are dangerous.
00:27:07I would worry about them.
00:27:08Just that little counter shot, the slip and the touch there.
00:27:12The experience is picked up from his big fights.
00:27:15Fighting the big elite guys.
00:27:16Just knowing how to counter punch and how to throw them rapid combination punches.
00:27:21The experience is picked up from his big fights.
00:27:24Good word there.
00:27:25Second, third on. Let's go!
00:27:27.
00:27:31So, Jake Wiley with pains to show he is unaffected by some of those shots that have come through,
00:27:38and he steps out with intent here in round number three,
00:27:41He's going to take a look at the
00:27:43point.
00:27:45He's going to take a look at the
00:27:47point.
00:27:49What do you need to see from Jake
00:27:51Wiley here, Ted?
00:27:53Jake Wiley needs to keep his
00:27:55hands high, not get too
00:27:57overzealous, and walk into these
00:27:59rapid counterpunch shots that
00:28:01George is setting him up for.
00:28:03So if you look at what
00:28:05he's doing, just taking steps
00:28:07back, taking it easy, using very
00:28:09fast.
00:28:11And that's what's getting these
00:28:13shots in them vittling between
00:28:15gaps.
00:28:19He's just got Wiley guessing,
00:28:21just put him, stopped him in his
00:28:23tracks and stopped him just
00:28:25recklessly walking forward.
00:28:27Marches forward to Wiley.
00:28:31Oh!
00:28:33Oh!
00:28:37He's going to turn it on here.
00:28:39In round three.
00:28:41The uppercut started it.
00:28:43Beautiful work.
00:28:47That uppercut just whizzes by
00:28:49dangerously for Wiley.
00:28:51So sharp.
00:28:55It's them little punches in the gaps that's unsettling Wiley somewhat.
00:28:59It's them little punches in the gaps that's unsettling Wiley somewhat.
00:29:03Nice jab!
00:29:05Nice jab!
00:29:07Nice jab!
00:29:09Nice jab!
00:29:11Kambosis seems to be seeing everything coming
00:29:13with just that little disparity in speed
00:29:15in Kambosis' favor.
00:29:17Kambosis seems to be seeing everything coming,
00:29:19just that little disparity in speed in Kambosis' favor.
00:29:23Wiley trying to push forward here.
00:29:27Yeah, he's got to just utilize his jab, stay effective,
00:29:31keep touching George Camboses.
00:29:33George is getting more and more comfortable.
00:29:36And the edge in speed is a big problem for Wiley.
00:29:40Yeah, it's becoming more obvious now.
00:29:42The tide is turning a bit, Camboses now starting to step forward.
00:29:54He's probably gonna start opening up on some of them monster shots.
00:30:00Let's see if Wiley can find something to push him off.
00:30:06He has to find something.
00:30:08Beautiful.
00:30:13There's another of those shots.
00:30:15Easy, as relaxed as can be.
00:30:17Showing pure comfort in the ring, George Camboses.
00:30:20Stop! Step back!
00:30:23His left hand has been so accurate.
00:30:26Yeah, clean as a whistle.
00:30:32There's another right on the bell.
00:30:38And this is the Wiley corner.
00:30:50I'm gonna do the ball with the bait.
00:30:52You make it easy.
00:30:53You've got to pop the right hand straight.
00:30:55You've got to throw that.
00:30:57Now the ball.
00:30:58And George, don't forget.
00:30:59This is for our call.
00:31:00Music for our call.
00:31:01Timing for our call.
00:31:02Yeah.
00:31:03And here's some of the action that we are seeing.
00:31:18What are you seeing, Ted?
00:31:20I'm seeing Camboses starting to just go through the gears.
00:31:23Working his magic.
00:31:24Touching and counter-punching at well.
00:31:26Beautiful left uppercut there, as you saw.
00:31:29And you don't want to let George Camboses get comfortable in this fight.
00:31:32But unfortunately, that's what seems to be happening.
00:31:35Wait.

00:32:09Good for George Kambosis, he gets to show his arsenal in his range.
00:32:13Jake Wiley though, hanging in there trying to do his best to make this fight competitive.
00:32:23He counted with the right hand there, did Wiley.
00:32:25It was nice.
00:32:39Left hand again from Kambosis.
00:32:49Wiley back on the jab.
00:32:54Yeah, George Kambosis just moving around the center of the ring, looking for openings,
00:32:59looking to see where he can cancel the nice one-two and one-two-three punch combinations.
00:33:09At this weight, Kambosis looks very comfortable.
00:33:13Nice jab!
00:33:17Look at that one-two.
00:33:23He's trying to work his jab is Wiley, then he throws his own right hand.
00:33:30He throws his own right hand.
00:33:33Yeah, Kambosis waiting for Wiley to make the moves before he throws his shots.
00:33:37Touching with the occasional jab and sharp left hook on the inside.
00:33:43Left hand from Wiley gets through on a couple of occasions,
00:33:46and there's the right hand through the guard from Kambosis.
00:33:49Good combo.
00:33:51The jabs long to the body.
00:33:53Wiley just wheeling around to his right, and then he throws a good right hand.
00:33:58There's Jake Wiley.
00:33:59One and two, George Kambosis.
00:34:02One and two, George Kambosis.
00:34:04One and two!
00:34:06Three seconds, one hand!
00:34:10Having caught Lomachenko and Haney, you can see the legs of George Kambosis just moving in and out at will.
00:34:16Once he puts his body exactly where it needs to be.
00:34:19Nice defense, AD, good work.
00:34:20Nice defense, AD, good work.
00:34:23Huge learning fight.
00:34:25Throwing his shots is Wiley, but he can't find Kambosis.
00:34:29Then there's body shots that are good from Kambosis.
00:34:36Yeah, Wiley's staying in there, trying to come back this round.
00:34:39Yeah, Wiley's staying in there, trying to come back this round.
00:34:43And so far, so good for Kambosis, that Wiley needs something.
00:35:01You can catch him all the time.
00:35:02And May 2, Ryan Garcia, Roley Romero, and an all-star cast in Times Square in New York City.

00:36:42he'll take confidence from Matt he will indeed Kambosis took it in his stride but
00:36:51Wiley with a little bit of confidence there he turned around his left hand and followed up
00:36:56with that straight right did Wiley and he needs more where that came from yeah he does
00:37:04now he talks to Kambosis who talks back this one fires out he might wake up right hands

00:37:52to get a bit of an advantage.
00:37:55Kambosis took a few shots, but there you go for a nice one-two there.
00:37:58Yeah, good right hand again, Kambosis.
00:38:03Just caught Wiley flat-footed and scored with it.
00:38:14Wiley spoke about the holes in the press conference.
00:38:16Let's see if he can capitalize.
00:38:18He's trying to push back.
00:38:19Oh, big left.
00:38:20Good shot again.
00:38:21Big left.
00:38:22Right hand scored.
00:38:23Left hook as well.
00:38:25Wiley wears them well.
00:38:27Another right hand.
00:38:29He comes back to Wiley, but the big shots are from Kambosis.
00:38:33Beautiful.
00:38:38Right hand again to finish the round.
00:38:41Wiley is tapped.
00:38:43He smiles and he talks.
00:38:46Nice.
00:38:47Nice.
00:38:48Trying to go a bit better is showing that bit of patience.
00:38:49Right?
00:38:50Yeah.
00:38:51We'll show the patience.
00:38:52You've got to keep that movement.
00:38:53Even when you're being patient, you've got to keep that little bit of energy.
00:38:55A little bit of a ball.
00:38:56A little bit of pain.
00:38:57Move the head and shoulders every now and then.
00:38:58Yeah.
00:38:59Breathe up, breathe up, breathe up.
00:39:00Even when you're waiting.
00:39:01Even throw a short one every now and then.
00:39:02Short one.
00:39:03Waiting for that reaction that he's going to throw.
00:39:04He's going to come in and try to throw that hook every time.
00:39:06All right?
00:39:07Mate, you're going more.
00:39:08When you do it, you commit to him, mate.
00:39:09When you finish the last shot, roll.
00:39:10Yeah.
00:39:11All right?
00:39:12Yeah, look at this work.
00:39:15Wiley pushing Kambosis back.
00:39:18Kambosis, though composed, got caught a couple of shots he probably didn't need to
00:39:23and then replied with some nice receipts there on the right hand.
00:39:27Left dogs and Wiley showing his content by sticking his tongue out.
00:39:31Nothing wrong with his chin, Jake Wiley.
00:39:33Nothing at all.
00:39:35And he had his little moment there, too.
00:39:40But he needs a lot more of those.
00:39:48And similarly, Kambosis wants something impressive.
00:39:53A big finish would be ideal for him.
00:39:59Yeah, Kambosis seems to be doing more throughout the rounds.
00:40:03And Wiley just having spurts of success.
00:40:09Nice job.
00:40:12Really solid jab from Kambosis.
00:40:15No one misses over the top.
00:40:17Wiley comes forward, looks to the body.
00:40:19And he gets that right hand away.
00:40:21Break!
00:40:22Step back.
00:40:32Bit of a head clash there. Bit of a head clash there, bit of a head clash.
00:40:33And there is a shot from Wiley around the back of the head, too.
00:40:35It's the second time I'm talking here about the back of the head.
00:40:36It's the second time I'm talking here about the back of the head.
00:40:37No more I'm taking a point.
00:40:39You understand me.
00:40:40Let's go.
00:40:41Let's go.
00:40:43So Wiley trying to rough things up
00:40:45Here in Sydney.
00:40:46here in Sydney.
00:40:48Yeah, trying to use his weight to his advantage.
00:40:50He's accustomed to this junior welterweight division.
00:40:58Good shot from Wiley, too.
00:41:00Both landed a good shot.
00:41:03Yeah, they're exchanging.
00:41:05Both got through.
00:41:07Wiley with all the left hands.
00:41:10Wiley with all the left hands.
00:41:15Wiley with all the left hands.
00:41:20He did a slip there.
00:41:23Wiley just keeps touching him.
00:41:27Works off that jab to the chest.
00:41:30Here's Wiley.
00:41:31Kambosis watching, he's looking for a big counter shot.
00:41:34Kambosis.
00:41:36Yeah, Jake Wiley trying to use the bullying tactics just to offset
00:41:42set Kambosus just to shorten that gap on the speed differential.
00:41:49And he stopped the output at least momentarily but then Kambosus fires away.
00:41:57Good shot there from Wiley, left hook and a right hand.
00:42:01Here goes Jake Wiley.
00:42:04Kambosus firing back.
00:42:08But Jake Wiley had a good moment there.
00:42:12Yeah, a couple of good shots landed by Wiley.
00:42:16And he'll like that, his corner certainly did.
00:42:19They are buzzing after what they just saw.
00:42:24And he needs to build upon it.
00:42:26He does, Kambosus greeted him with a smile and back to the consistent look throughout the round.
00:42:331-2 and a good shot again from Kambosus and they again face each other.
00:42:49Just a little bit of damage on the head of George Kambosus.
00:42:54Stay out of the five point mate.
00:43:01The heads slammed together.
00:43:06They've done that a number of times.
00:43:11Good shots as well for Wiley.
00:43:17Some really solid moments in that round.
00:43:29Second down.
00:43:31And we do have a fight here in Sydney.
00:43:39Fox.
00:43:41And Jake Wiley is straight out to meet him.
00:43:47Yeah, after landing a couple of shots in the last round, Wiley looking and feeling confident.
00:43:51Kambosus doing a lot of the movement in between the action,
00:43:58which is keeping the rounds high for him.
00:44:00That they are in.
00:44:03inate somebody at that
00:44:04��들ist estão saving wanted
00:44:06But they're in.
00:44:08And he's missing with that right-hand
00:44:10That right-hand Wiley.
00:44:10I'm missing with that right-hand Wiley.
00:44:11and in baisseau.
00:44:18Really watching intently here.
00:44:21And a jab from range is Kambosis.
00:44:25Yeah, trying to get Wyler to commit so we can throw them big, rapid count of combinations.
00:44:31There you go.
00:44:38Through the right shot, just couldn't quite find his man, Kambosis.
00:44:43That's a good shot, though.
00:44:44Yeah, he's landing them, but Wyler's just taking them well.
00:44:47He's got good absorption of these shots.
00:44:49He's got good absorption of these shots.
00:44:53Maybe it's the weight differential, but Kambosis landing the rapid,
00:44:56speedy combinations, mainly as counter punches.
00:44:59Maybe it's the weight differential, but Kambosis landing the rapid,
00:45:02speedy combinations, mainly as counter punches.
00:45:03Left hook right hand from Wiley, and now he chases again,
00:45:04and Kambosis just evades that big left hook from Wiley.
00:45:09And they meet that center ring again.
00:45:16A lot of body shots from Wiley after Kambosis's fired his right hand.
00:45:32Yeah Kambosis, while you're standing there.
00:45:34He's punching, he's trying to inflammation, he's trying to ли
00:45:44the right hand straight into the cheek from Wiley onto Kambosis and we've got a bit to
00:45:59deal with in terms of damage around the face of George Kambosis in between the next couple
00:46:06of rounds, Wiley pressing forward onto him.
00:46:16George Kambosis just turning him, not looking panicked, but the action's being pressed by Wiley.
00:46:21Yeah, he's pushing forward as Jake Wiley.
00:46:25He's like those moments of success and he tries again with that right hand.
00:46:34Body shot Kambosis, Wiley over the top and again they talk.
00:46:45Fiery stuff and better stuff from Wiley the further we get in this fight.
00:46:53I like how you're backing him up, showing lots of patience.
00:46:57Make sure every time you come in you've got to get that ball for reaction.
00:47:01You've got to keep walking in and mate, please, you've got to keep that right hand up when you're coming forward.
00:47:04I don't know what you're doing with it, you've always got to get down the other way.
00:47:07The belt, break the belt.
00:47:08Have a touch it now, have a touch it now.
00:47:09You've got to land more right hands and you're not going to get hit with that hook.
00:47:12Keep that the same way as getting any points through that hook, alright?
00:47:15Yep.
00:47:16Keep that right hand a bit neater, keep walking as any.
00:47:19The right ball you want him to spin?
00:47:20Mate, you've got him on the run up in, you're letting him out to the left all the time.
00:47:23Some of the highlights from the previous rounds.
00:47:30The previous rounds.
00:47:32Dan Bosis has had a lot of success throughout with that left hand.
00:47:37Jake Wiley, though.
00:47:40Something to build on there.
00:47:42Yeah, Jake Wiley pushing, making it competitive.
00:47:46Dan Bosis still doing the better clean and work.
00:47:48But Wiley has landed a couple of shots that probably weren't anticipated.
00:47:51probably weren't anticipating.
00:47:58Tries to find a right hand, Embrosis covers up to it.
00:48:06Tries to find a right hand, Embrosis covers up to it.
00:48:16Tries to find a right hand, Embrosis covers up to it.
00:48:21Tries to find a right hand, Embrosis, nice and sharp.
00:48:26Wiley pushing, pushing, looking for an opening and an opportunity.
00:48:31Wiley trying to make it rough, it's his best chance to offset
00:48:45with his knee and an opportunity.
00:48:51There's the hook again.
00:48:55exchange jabs.
00:48:57exchange jabs.
00:49:00Body shot from Kambosis, but it's caught low by

00:50:54He's still in this fight.
00:50:56Yeah, you see these guys working well on the inside.
00:51:02Wiley pushing Kambosis back.
00:51:04But on his retreat, he's comfortable.
00:51:06He's alert.
00:51:07He's lucid.
00:51:08Just looking for the counter punches and the sharp shots in return.
00:51:12But Jake Wiley doing really, really well to stay in this fight and on occasion push George Kambosis back.

00:51:54Ted, you are scoring this one.
00:51:56I am indeed.
00:51:57Have you got it so far?
00:51:59Well, I've actually got it as a shut-up to George Kambosis,
00:52:03only because Kambosis is doing more of the work throughout the rounds.
00:52:07Boxing is one of them subjective sports,
00:52:09where even when it's close, you've got to give a scorecard 10-9.
00:52:13So I've got an 80-72,
00:52:14but it doesn't mean that the fight is not competitive, because it sure is.
00:52:20Well, there's a cut now in a bad spot for Kambosis,
00:52:24and he's throwing caution to the wind immediately
00:52:27as the blood courses down his face.
00:52:30So, a big, bad cut from a clash of heads.
00:52:38On the forehead of Kambosis,
00:52:40and Wiley sees the blood and pushes forward.
00:52:46Is this his chance for a fairy tale?
00:52:50With adversity now, for the former champ,
00:52:53a right hand gets through from Wiley.
00:52:55Oh, a big right hand from Wiley.
00:52:57It's a bad cut, in a bad spot.
00:53:01Yeah, it's unsettled Kambosis.
00:53:05Well, he's trying to finish it off here.
00:53:10But so is Wiley.
00:53:13So, a twist in Sydney.
00:53:15And Wiley.
00:53:20Counter shot again from Wiley.
00:53:21Counter shot again from Wiley.
00:53:25And blood all over the face of Kambosis.

00:53:29Yes, it's a bad cut.
00:53:29Yes, it's a bad cut.
00:53:33Can Wiley push forward here?
00:53:37Yeah, he has to take the opportunity while it's here.
00:53:41It's a bad cut for Kambosis.
00:53:44Yeah, well, no doubt they'll have a look at that cut from a clash of heads.
00:53:52But he's got a great cut on him, Brian Warm-up, one of the best.
00:53:55Good shot, too, there from Wiley.
00:53:59Body shot's a good one from Kambosis.
00:54:02Wiley over the top.

00:54:09But he's got a lot.
00:54:10But he's got a lot.
00:54:11Perfectly timed from the bloody Kambosis.

00:59:32Yeah, a couple of big shots from Jake Wiley.
00:59:36Kambos is doing what he does best.
00:59:38Slipping some, countering, getting underneath the shots after a counter.
00:59:42But very competitive.
00:59:44Just tidy it up.
00:59:46Getting too untidy.
00:59:47I want to tidy it up.
00:59:48You understand?
00:59:49Yeah, man.
00:59:50Tidy it up.
00:59:51Now let's go.
00:59:52I don't think they will tidy it up.
00:59:54But looks almost the referee is trying.
00:59:58And Wiley will try and get in there and rough him up again and get that blood flowing.
01:00:07And Wiley must feel good about himself that is in the 11th round.
01:00:11Body shot, Kambos is.
01:00:13Wiley, though, growing in confidence the further we go.
01:00:17Wiley, though, growing in confidence the further we go.
01:00:22And Ted, have you found him around at all, Jake Wiley?
01:00:25Yeah, I've found him around.
01:00:26I've found him around.
01:00:27I've found him around nine.
01:00:29Okay.
01:00:31So I've got it 99 to 91 at the moment.
01:00:34But it's still competitive, even though the scoring may seem one-sided.
01:00:45Kambos is waiting to throw the counter.
01:00:47Trying to get Wiley to commit himself.
01:00:49Trying to bring him onto something.
01:00:51Yeah, he is.
01:00:52Forcing him to lead the action.
01:00:55Wiley.
01:00:57Wait to it.
01:00:59Over the top.
01:01:01Here's that one.
01:01:06Trying to find the body is Wiley.
01:01:09Kambos is.
01:01:11Underneath and away.
01:01:12And back to centering.
01:01:17I don't want to denigrate the skills of Wiley, but early on,
01:01:21you saw the differential in speed.
01:01:23Kambos is was so much faster.
01:01:25You've got somebody like Wiley at 110%.
01:01:27Maybe Kambos is thinking he may have, you know, won this easier.
01:01:30It makes it far more competitive now.
01:01:33Eatens it out of it.
01:01:34That's a good right hand.
01:01:36Back comes Wiley.
01:01:38And he chases Jake Wiley.
01:01:40And they beckon him forward from his corner.
01:01:44Body shot.
01:01:45Kambos is.
01:01:46dull.
01:01:57Wiley works hard, leads with that right hand a couple of times.
01:01:58Wiley works hard.
01:02:00Leads with that right hand a couple of times.
01:02:01Kambos is doing drag the right up cut.
01:02:03Yeah, Kambos is dropping the right up a cut.
01:02:06He's bleeding too badly here in round 11.
01:02:12Leading to the right-hand, Kambosis. Body shots over the top.
01:02:18Wiley tried to come back, but the good shot came from Kambosis.
01:02:22Wiley presses into him.
01:02:26Yeah, Wiley in this 11th round with less than 20 seconds to go.
01:02:31Both guys throwing bombs now.
01:02:37A couple of good shots got through there.
01:02:41Jack from Wiley, left hook from Kambosis.
01:02:46And they will head to their corners for the final time in this one.
01:03:01That was the left hook from Wiley that got Kambosis backing up for a moment.
01:03:15And Wiley is having more and more moments since that cut appeared.
01:03:21That Kambosis down as well.
01:03:31Wiley working so hard the further we get into this fight, Ted.
01:03:35Yeah, you're right, Ben. He's given it. He's absolutely everything.
01:03:37But to be here in the 12th round with George Kambosis Jr. is a massive achievement for Jake Wiley.
01:03:45The final round of this one, Jake Wiley has been brave and tough and he pushes forward and he looks the fresher of them.
01:03:55But Kambosis started so very strongly.
01:03:59Ted, what's your scorecard say as we start this final round?
01:04:04Right now, 109-100.
01:04:08But Jack Wiley's got some energy. Anything can happen.
01:04:10He's obviously got to go for the KO to come from behind, I feel.
01:04:15OK, well let's see what Wiley can do in this final round.
01:04:19Ooh, he's thrown big shots.
01:04:21Scores with a couple of good shots then is Jake Wiley.
01:04:24And now he tries to work here in this 12th round.
01:04:27Yeah, his corner would have told him to go for it.
01:04:30Kambosis throws him to the ground.
01:04:34And Wiley is ready to go.
01:04:36He wants a big moment.
01:04:38And as Kambosis talks to the referee, he's right on top of him.
01:04:42Don't hold him there, George.
01:04:44Wiley.
01:04:46Yeah, good tactic from Wiley.
01:04:48Make her uncomfortable, make Kambosis work, but Kambosis can see everything coming.
01:04:53Wiley pushing forward, throwing good shots.
01:05:03Kambosis to the body.
01:05:04They trade here at centre ring.
01:05:06Stop!
01:05:07Break!
01:05:08Yeah, Wiley's just trying to throw everything he's got from everywhere.
01:05:11All angles, even awkward-looking punches.
01:05:13Doesn't matter.
01:05:14He's just making Kambosis work.
01:05:16He's earned himself a lot of fans here tonight as Jake Wiley.
01:05:23Break!
01:05:24Get back!
01:05:25The reason he's not really been able to rock or hurt Kambosis significantly is because
01:05:32George Kambosis can see everything coming.
01:05:34Hands off!
01:05:35Hands off!
01:05:36Well, not the heads.
01:05:37He hasn't seen the heads.
01:05:38And there might be another little nick as well.
01:05:40Terrible.
01:05:41The head of Kambosis to go with everything else, so blood a problem.
01:05:48Wiley still looking for that big one.
01:05:53Yeah, Wiley's doing well to push forward.
01:05:55He's got to push forward.
01:05:57And he does.
01:05:59Kambosis trades with him.
01:06:03Wiley is looking for the big one.
01:06:09Kambosis would love one himself.
01:06:12And he sits down on a shot.
01:06:14There's a good body shot from Wiley.
01:06:16Don't hold, George.
01:06:19Don't hold.
01:06:20Hands free.
01:06:21They just tangle here.
01:06:23Kambosis is happy to push forward into this corner.
01:06:27Not long left in this fight.
01:06:29Yeah, last 15 seconds.
01:06:31You can see Kambosis just sitting there waiting now to end the round strongly.
01:06:36Jake Wiley pushing forward.
01:06:38They wing away with big shots.
01:06:43There's a right hand.
01:06:44Another one.
01:06:45Kambosis.
01:06:46They trade.
01:06:47A good fight.
01:06:48Over 12 rounds.
01:06:51On late notice, Jake Wiley has impressed plenty and earned himself a bunch of fans.
01:07:00George Kambosis was very slick early.
01:07:03George Kambosis was very slick early.
01:07:05He took a lot of damage.
01:07:08The heads clashed all night.
01:07:11It's not exactly the happy homecoming he had planned.
01:07:23But you would think Kambosis is a winner again.
01:07:28With stitches to come.
01:07:29Gee, had a bit to do tonight.
01:07:30George Kambosis.
01:07:31He certainly did.
01:07:32But what George did, he did very, very well.
01:07:33I mean, he probably in his mind and his heart of hearts thought, this guy's not at all on my level.
01:07:49And so we came in thinking, I'm going to take this guy out.
01:07:53But he had to adapt.
01:07:54He had to think on his feet.
01:07:56He had to keep working right until the end.
01:07:58So lucky he's had them long fights in the past that he's had a chance to think and use his brain with.
01:08:05And he used every bit of that here today.
01:08:08And he got up on the ropes there and celebrated.
01:08:12George Kambosis talks about the clashes of heads.
01:08:17Well, it's a moral victory for him, isn't it?
01:08:19If nothing else, he's gone 12 rounds of George Kambosis.
01:08:22After getting the phone call on Sunday night.
01:08:25Unbelievable.
01:08:26No mean feat.
01:08:28Here you can see some of the action.
01:08:30The heads coming together as usual.
01:08:32Wiley pushing back, throwing shots on the inside.
01:08:35Kambosis countering, countering, then slipping the shots in return.
01:08:40Had everything.
01:08:41Body shots, uppercuts, cuts, headbutts.
01:08:45And there's giving him the raging ball.
01:08:47Come and fight, he says.
01:08:48Come and fight.
01:08:49And Kambosis greeted that with a couple of nice right hands.
01:08:54We've seen a bit of everything through the course of the night here.

01:11:11He was after.
01:11:13As he chases that world title shot against Richardson Hitchens.
01:11:20But he got a victory.
01:11:24And he'll have some recovery to do.
01:11:28After the head clashes.
01:11:31The blood.
01:11:32And the brutality of this fight here in Sydney.
01:11:35Here is Jamie with the winner.
01:11:38George Kambosis, let's come to you first back in Sydney.
01:11:42After a long time away from the city, your hometown.
01:11:45And back to winning ways as well.
01:11:46How would you sum that one up tonight?
01:11:48It was a good war.
01:11:49We gave Sydney a good war.
01:11:51He's a tough kid.
01:11:52I know he was fully prepared.
01:11:53He was fighting in two, three weeks.
01:11:54I knew he was always going to be prepared.
01:11:56First fighter, 140.
01:11:58He's the best domestic guy 140 outside of obviously me and the big, big names.
01:12:03So obviously he's got a lot more to give in his future.
01:12:08He's only 24.
01:12:09And obviously I'll go on to do more things.
01:12:12But I'll help him out as the future goes.
01:12:14But good on him, man.
01:12:15Great fight.
01:12:16He had five days, but he was ready.
01:12:17I had five days to prepare for his style too.
01:12:19So hell of a fight.
01:12:20Hell of a fight.
01:12:21How much more of your respect did Jake Wiley earn tonight through those 36 minutes?
01:12:25Of course, man.
01:12:26You know, he was tough, strong.
01:12:28A strong bloody head.
01:12:29But, you know, he gave me a good fight.
01:12:31I felt great at the start.
01:12:32First four or five rounds.
01:12:33Unbelievable.
01:12:34Sharp, moving.
01:12:35And then a nice little clash.
01:12:36But, you know, he started coming on.
01:12:38I knew he would.
01:12:39So we had to be smart and get through this win.
01:12:42You were after a statement to capture the attention of the champions in your new weight division 140.
01:12:46Was there any disappointment that you couldn't close the show here tonight?
01:12:49I would have loved to put him away.
01:12:51But, like I said, he was fully prepared.
01:12:52Natural 140 pound champion.
01:12:54The Australian champion.
01:12:55That's why he got his shot.
01:12:56So, you know, credit to him.
01:12:58And, you know, a win is win.
01:12:59We won quite well on the points.
01:13:01He had a couple of good rounds.
01:13:02But we move on to what's next.
01:13:04Let's grab a quick word with you, Jake.
01:13:05Before we come back to you, George, to talk about what is next.
01:13:08Jake, commiserations.
01:13:09But your stock has certainly grown.
01:13:11You've certainly developed a few new fans as well.
01:13:13I think it's safe to say in this ring tonight.
01:13:15What's going through your mind after those 12 rounds?
01:13:18Yeah, look, firstly, I'd just like to say a massive thank you to George for giving me this opportunity.
01:13:23Eddie Hearn for putting me on such a great card.
01:13:26Look, that was a war, didn't he?
01:13:28It was brilliant.
01:13:29I prepared for this on five days' notice.
01:13:33I got the call on Sunday from my manager, Steve Dallow.
01:13:36I was so excited for this moment.
01:13:38And I feel like I've won so many people over and I fought my heart out tonight.
01:13:42And I believe I'm destined for great things.
01:13:45George spoke very nicely about you, Jake.
01:13:48From one Australian to another, how would it make you feel to see this man go on and fight for a world championship once again next?
01:13:54Oh, look, to even get in the ring with him, I've seen him do it before.
01:13:57He unified the whole division.
01:13:59So, to share the ring with George, I look forward to seeing what he's got in the future.
01:14:03Well done, George.
01:14:04This is what the boxing sport we love is all about, Jake.
01:14:07Commiserations, but we look forward to seeing you back in a boxing ring very soon.
01:14:10As I say, no doubt your stock has gone through the roof.
01:14:13Before we bring in Eddie Hearn, George Cambosis.
01:14:15Now, listen.
01:14:16This was seen as the fight before the fight.
01:14:19Richardson Hitchens is the name that Eddie Hearn has mentioned.
01:14:21He's the IBF super lightweight world champion.
01:14:23What's your preferred route to making the two-weight dream a reality?
01:14:27Yeah, look, man.
01:14:28Shichins, that aim punch nowhere near like him.
01:14:29So, Shichins is a tip-tap running kind of guy.
01:14:33If he comes and brings the brawler, that better for me.
01:14:35I'll have more openings, but I know he'll run.
01:14:36And, like I said, I boxed brilliant for the first four or five rounds.
01:14:40Nice solid clash on top of the head.
01:14:42I'm thinking a little bit about Hitchens now, the clash.
01:14:45But we got through the fight and we'll get that fixed up.
01:14:47And, you know, if that's the fight, Eddie, let's do it.
01:14:50I'm all in.
01:14:51You know, man, I'm a warrior.
01:14:52I fight the best of the best.
01:14:53And you say Hitchens is your best guy?
01:14:55Well, let him fight toe-to-toe with me. Let's go.
01:14:57Well, let's bring in promoter Eddie Hearn.
01:14:59Eddie, firstly, before we talk about what's next,
01:15:02your verdicts on this and the sportsmanship
01:15:04between these two great fighters.
01:15:05Yeah, tonight just showed us what boxing's all about.
01:15:07Taking opportunities and getting in there
01:15:09and putting it all on the line.
01:15:10You know, six days ago, this show was in jeopardy
01:15:13when your Dan pulled out.
01:15:15This man, Jake Wiley, stepped up.
01:15:17You know, honestly, he would have done it without a purse.
01:15:20He was after the opportunity.
01:15:21Steve Deller, I made the call.
01:15:23And, you know, tonight is about George Kambosis
01:15:25going forward to fight for the world title,
01:15:27but it's also about a new star for Australian boxing
01:15:30that he's born in Jake Wiley as well.
01:15:32I think this guy has got a massive future ahead of him.
01:15:34He could have done 15 rounds.
01:15:36He could have done 20 rounds.
01:15:37And, you know, George Kambosis, I think,
01:15:39has done so much for Australian boxing.
01:15:41Sometimes people forget.
01:15:42No one's done 30,000, 40,000 boxing.
01:15:45Haney, Lomachenko.
01:15:47When he won the Undisputed Championship,
01:15:49he gambled it all against the very, very best.
01:15:51And he wanted to come back to Sydney tonight
01:15:53because he hasn't been here for eight years.
01:15:55If that cut heals up, we've got a date, end of June,
01:15:58and that is the date.
01:15:59He's got to be ready for that date.
01:16:00If he is, we're ready to move forward for George Kambosis
01:16:03to fight for the world championship in America
01:16:05to try and become a two-division world champion.
01:16:07And I think that's what he deserves.
01:16:09That's what he deserves for the fights that he's been in.
01:16:11I think Richardson Hitchens is a fantastic fighter.
01:16:15I think he's one of the best in the world,
01:16:17if not the best 140.
01:16:18He's ready to put it on the line.
01:16:20That build-up will be spicy.
01:16:21And, you know, I want to thank George for everything he's done
01:16:23for bringing the show to Sydney tonight.
01:16:25And thanks to Jake Wiley as well.
01:16:26You've got a heart of a line, mate.
01:16:27You've got a big future ahead of you.
01:16:29Jake, final one to you.
01:16:30I have to say, did Eddie Hearn give you your money back
01:16:32for the tickets you'd originally bought
01:16:33to be here tonight as a fan?
01:16:34I'll tell you something Betty can give me.
01:16:36Where's my contract?
01:16:38Yeah.
01:16:39One thing I promise to you,
01:16:40you will have a contract Monday morning from Matchroom Boxing.
01:16:43Well done.
01:16:44There you go.
01:16:46Unbelievable.
01:16:49One thing about me is,
01:16:51I always try to do my best for Australian boxing
01:16:53if it means me fighting the best of the best
01:16:56when I won all my belts and take no easy road
01:16:59and go to the biggest names to crack the biggest possible events
01:17:01and get all the young guys on the undercard,
01:17:03I'm happy with that.
01:17:04And you know what? I'm so happy.
01:17:05That's why I gave him the opportunity to...
01:17:06Now he's going to get a contract.
01:17:08And who knows?
01:17:09Maybe we can have him on the undercard in June.
01:17:10And like I said, we'll help each other.
01:17:11And Australia needs more and more of that.
01:17:13Final message from you, George Kambosis.
01:17:17Congratulations.
01:17:18But a final message to your Sydney crowd here tonight.
01:17:20Hey, we got through it against a tough young hungry kid.
01:17:22And we showed it to the old school ball that's been here for a long time.
01:17:26Still got it sharp.
01:17:27And end of June.
01:17:28Let's go.
01:17:29Shoot chins.
01:17:30Bring that style.
01:17:31I want to fight you toe to toe.
01:17:32Let's go.
01:17:33George Kambosis Jr.
01:17:34Congratulations back to winning ways.
01:17:35And Jake Wiley, congratulations on a wonderful performance as well.
01:17:38All the main event reaction coming after this short break.
01:17:40Palestinians will leave a chance right after this short break.
01:17:41Peopleтаки are excited for me to be happy after the Short Break.
01:17:43Look at that show.
01:17:44What the hell?
01:17:45What the hell?
01:17:46What the hell?
01:17:47What the hell?
01:17:48What the hell?
01:17:49What the hell?
01:17:50What the hell?
01:17:51What about how hard you can say now is you?
