Welshman Lee Selby will face the unbeaten George Kambosos Jr. in an IBF lightweight final eliminator at the SSE Arena in London on Saturday. The former IBF featherweight titleholder, is pleased to be facing the all-action Kambosos in the long-awaited clash. “It’s a big fight, a massive opportunity for me,” Selby (28-2, 9 knockouts) told The Ring. “He’s a good fighter, young prospect, he hasn’t really boxed anyone of note, except Mickey Bey, which he won on a split decision.” This won’t be the first time the 33-year-old Welshman has shared a ring with Kambosos. “I sparred him at the Wild Card in 2017 and he’s good,” acknowledged Selby. “We only sparred four rounds and I don’t think I lost a round. Sparring is sparring.” If victorious Selby will be in line to face new lightweight king Teofimo Lopez. “[Lopez] looked too big for Lomachenko,” said the former titleholder. “He boxed well behind the jab and did what he had to do. I could possibly face him, so I’m just one win away from a superfight.”
