Unified lightweight world champion George Kambosos Jr left a TV host "fearing for his life" after breaking his ribs.
Kambosos is set to defend his world titles for the first time against Devin Haney in an undisputed bout next weekend, and has been pushing hard to sell out the 54,000-capacity Marvel Stadium. To do so, he's been participating in a massive media campaign that included a sparring session with 7News host Grant Denyer.
Denyer and Kambosos stepped into the ring for a segment on his show, with the champion boxer generally taking it easy and even allowing the host to punch him. But when Denyer asked to feel what it was like to take a shot from the world champion, he was made keenly aware of why you should be careful what you wish for.
