Former world lightweight champion George Kambosos Jr. (pictured) gets his long-awaited Australian homecoming on Saturday, March 22nd against Daud Yordan of Indonesia – live worldwide on DAZN. Kambosos will move up to the junior welterweight division on a huge card at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena which features two women’s title bouts with Skye Nicolson and Cherneka ‘Sugar’ Johnson looking to successfully defend their respective crowns on home soil. Ex-Olympic heavyweight Teremoana Teremoana will bid for his seventh successive stoppage.

Kambosos Jr (21-3, 10 KOs) faces former two-weight IBO champion Yordan (43-4, 31 KOs) in the main event, looking to lay down a marker in one of the sport’s most exciting divisions. The 31-year old – who captured world honors by beating Teofimo Lopez in 2021 – has shared the ring with the likes of Devin Haney, Maxi Hughes and Lee Selby and returns to the ring for the first time since his loss last May with the legendary Vasyl Lomachenko.

Yordan promises another stern test for Kambosos and is no stranger to fight fans, having previously held IBO titles at lightweight and featherweight and succumbing to a points defeat by Anthony Crolla in Manchester back in 2018.

Matchroom Sport chairman Eddie Hearn said: “This a brilliant card, headlined by the ferocious George Kambosos Jr in his hometown of Sydney. He’s a dangerous man and he will be in the mix of World Title conversations soon enough now he’s in the 140-pound division. There are two tremendous women’s world championship fights too, as Skye Nicolson defends her WBC featherweight crown against a tough, mandatory in Tiara Brown, plus Cherneka Johnson and Nina Hughes get the chance to go again for the WBA bantamweight belt.

“Big, bruising Heavyweight Teremoana Teremoana will be out to put on another knockout performance in front of his home fans, and much more, in what promises to be an unbelievable night of boxing Down Under.”

Kambosos Jr said: “Eight long years on the road, and finally I get to fight back in my hometown of Sydney, Australia.

“Moving up and having my 140-pound debut in front of my fans at a sold-out Sydney arena is the return I have always wanted. This is not just a fight; it’s an opportunity to inspire and give back to my loyal fans and to the community that has stuck by me all these years, the wait is now over. I will be facing a veteran of the sport and a fierce competitor, former two-time IBO champion and WBA title challenger Duad Yordan, ‘The Boxing Senator’, from Indonesia. The Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney will set the stage for me to make a statement return in front of my vocal hometown fans. I see this is as a testament to resilience, a celebration of my homecoming, expect fireworks and see you all March 22nd.”

Lou DiBella, Kambosos' co-promoter added: “I am excited to team up with Matchroom Boxing and TEG Sport to bring ‘Ferocious’ George Kambosos Jr. back to his hometown in Sydney where he will face former world champion Daud Yordan on March 22nd at the Qudos Bank Arena. This is a tremendous style matchup between two come-forward pressure fighters. Yordan is no stranger Down Under with three wins on Australian soil, but George is ready to unleash his warrior spirit once again to put on a sensational performance in his junior welterweight debut."
