Former world champion in lightweight division will attempt to win a new title. Standing in his way is the current holder of the IBO belt. This will be Fierce's first fight after signing with the promoter company Top Rank. In this twelve-round bout, the opponents will determine the contender for dominance in the IBF division. The Emperor returns to the ring after an unsuccessful rematch with the absolute category champion, Devin Haney.

The fight between George Kambosos and Maxi Hughes will be available to watch online, and they will battle it out in Shawnee, Oklahoma. The Australian of Greek descent made his professional debut in 2013. After nineteen consecutive victories, his landmark victory over Teofimo Lopez earned him the championship titles in the WBO, IBF, and WBA. However, eighteen months later, the athlete lost all his titles, and his second attempt to become the absolute champion in the lightweight division was not successful. He has 10 KOs to his name.

Fierce describes his opponent as a strong and skilled boxer who will put up a fight, but according to the Emperor, his efforts will not be enough. George claims to have experience fighting against elite opponents, so he can quickly spot the Briton's mistakes. In April, George stated that he intends to knock out his opponent and deliver a beating, noting that they are on different levels. Kambosos also added that his opponent is a cunning veteran, so there will be no underestimating him. Watch the battle between George Kambosos and Maxi Hughes online.
