The vacant IBF lightweight world title goes on the line when former unified champions Vasiliy Lomachenko (17-3) and George Kambosos (21-2) clash at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia.
Now 36, two-time Olympic gold medal winner and three-weight world champion Lomachenko is coming to the end of a glittering career but still believes he has time for another run at becoming undisputed at 135-pounds.
Standing in his way, Sydney’s Kambosos is desperate to recapture a world title and cement his legacy with a victory over the Ukrainian legend.

Vasiliy Lomachenko vs. George Kambosos live results and highlights
Pedro Guevara claims split-decision over Andrew Moloney
Mexico’s Pedro Guevara edged Australia’s Andrew Moloney to claim the interim WBC super flyweight world title.
In a close fight, Guevara’s body work was just enough to get the nod on two judges’ cards.
After the bout, Guevara confirmed he’d be willing to rematch the Australian, but Moloney appeared to have other ideas.
“I felt in total control. I did what I had to do,” Moloney said.
“I don’t want to make excuses but I went into the fight with a torn bicep. I couldn’t throw the left hook.”
The 33-year-old then announced a shock retirement, clearly emotional following the decision.
“I’m done with this sport,” Moloney told the crowd.
“That’s the last you’ll see of me… F*** that.”
Moloney has developed a reputation as one of the most personable boxers around and, with some time to reflect, may regret his handling of the situation
11:03am: We go the distance. The judges will be required here and it really could go either way. Both guys had moments but it’s impossible to predict which way the cards will look. Expect some difference of opinion.
10:47am: We’re through eight rounds and the interim WBC super flyweight title is in the balance. Neither fighter has been able to get on top for an extended period. Moloney doing some good work on the outside and Guevara scoring to the body.
10:31am: Four rounds down and a fairly even contest so far, Moloney perhaps slightly edging it with the harder scoring shots.
Imam Khataev’s body assault stops Ricards Bolotniks
Undefeated light-heavyweight Imam Khataev improved to 7-0 with a brutal body-shot finish of the experienced Ricards Bolotniks.
The Olympic medal winner has now finished all seven of his victories after a typically bludgeoning performance to open the card in Perth.
Khataev repeatedly scored to the mid-section with right hands, eventually dropping Bolotniks three times in the sixth round, the last of which was enough to see the bout waved off
