Welshman Lee Selby (28-2, 9 KO’s) will battle former Manny Pacquiao sparring partner Australian-Greek George Kambosos (18-0, 10 KO’s) in an intense IBF 135-pound eliminator set for October 31 in London, England.

The 33-year-old Selby – a former IBF 126-pound world champ – comes from outpointing Scottish veteran Ricky Burns last October, while Kambosos of Sydney narrowly edged former titlist Mickey Bey in New York last December.

Kambosos, 27, has promised that he will “retire” Selby.

Will that happened? Or will it be the other way around?

Selby vs Kambosos is the main supporting bout for the Usyk vs Chisora heavyweight clash.

The exciting show is promoted by Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing live on SKY Sports and DAZN.

Selby vs Kambosos in Lightweight action. May the Best Man Win!
