The March 22nd main event for George Kambosos Jr in Sydney, Australia has undergone a late shake-up, as Daud Yordan was forced to withdraw after being hospitalized. Stepping in on short notice is Jake Wyllie, a 24-year-old power puncher who now faces a career-defining opportunity against the former unified lightweight champion.
Wyllie (16-1, 15 KOs) began his pro journey in 2020 and has built a reputation for heavy hands, scoring knockouts in most of his victories. However, his resume also includes a surprising loss to the then 0-2 Faavesi Isaako, highlighting that he’s still a work in progress. He’s been active lately, though a recent clash of heads ended his most recent outing after just three rounds. Even with those factors, facing a name like Kambosos (21-3, 10 KOs) is a significant leap in class for Wyllie.
Kambosos, coming off a defeat from Vasiliy Lomachenko, remains a major presence in the super lightweight division. While the 34-year-old Yordan’s withdrawal might have disappointed some fans, Wyllie’s sudden inclusion adds intrigue. If the up-and-comer can avoid an early blowout and show his skill set, even in defeat, he could earn some momentum for bigger opportunities down the line. For Kambosos, the swap may not pose as serious a threat on paper, but he’ll have to be cautious of Wyllie’s knockout power.

Adding to the event’s allure, WBC World Featherweight champion Skye Nicolson (12‑0, 1 KO) is set to continue her quest to become "Future Undisputed" as she defends her crown against undefeated mandatory challenger Tiara Brown (18‑0, 11 KOs). Making her homecoming as a World Champion, Nicolson made history last October in Saudi Arabia by being the first female fighter to retain her title there during the Riyadh Season curtain-raiser.
"This is my homecoming as World Champion – a moment I have dreamed of and manifested: Bringing big world title action Down Under," Nicolson declared, adding that her opponent’s doubts will be silenced in front of an electrified Sydney crowd.

In addition to the featherweight showdown, a long-standing rivalry will be settled in the ring as WBA World Bantamweight Champion Cherneka Johnson (16-2, 6 KOs) defends her title in a rematch against Britain’s Nina Hughes (6-1, 2 KOs). Their first fight was marred by controversy when an initial call mistakenly favored Hughes before the correction declared Johnson the majority decision victor, making her a two‑weight World Champion. Johnson is confident of a dominating performance, while Hughes - hungry for retribution - promises that she’s leaving nothing to chance this time around.
Rising heavyweight sensation Teremoana Jr. Teremoana (6-0, 6 KOs) is also set to add another important chapter to his career in Sydney. "I’m excited to be back in action and heading to Sydney for another huge night for Australian boxing," he said, emphasizing that every round is a step on his ladder to the top.
