GEORGE KAMBOSOS JR wants to fight Devin Haney of Teofimo Lopez - but he's ready to win it at a 90,000.-seater arena.
Lopez will be challenged by Australian Kambosos for his unified WBA/IBF, WBO, WBO and WBC (Franchise) lightweight titles this weekend.
Teofimo Lopez, mandatory challenger George Kambosos Jr
The American champion has verbally and publicly accepted to fight Haney next year, who will face JoJo Diaz in December 5.
Kambosos has other plans and vows to dethrone Lopez, then unify the belts in a undisputed clash against Haney.
He believes Eddie Hearn, who promoted five Anthony Joshua fights that sold out in stadiums in the UK, to be the right man to do it.
SunSport, 28-year-old Kambosos said that he and Haney had been talking.
"We have been talking, we have mutual respect for one another and I'm in his side to win his fight. I hope he wins.
"And he's in mine corner to win our fight, and you know? We will handle the business and keep it going.

"And Eddie loves big stadium fights so it makes perfect sense."
Australian Jeff Horn, 33 years old, defeated Manny Pacquiao (now 42) in a shocking upset in 2017. The fight took place in front of 50,000 people at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium.
Kambosos beat Lee Selby (34), to make Lopez's IBF mandatory. Now, Kambosos wants Horn to nearly double his attendance with Haney.
He stated that there was a better fight with bigger numbers in Australia, where there are 80,000 to 90,000.
We all know Lopez isn’t a big seller. He may think he is. We can do anywhere from 80,000 to 90,000 in Australia, instead of 20,000 in the US.
Lopez, 24, rose to stardom in October 2020 after shocking Vasiliy Lombenko, 33, but was then directed to defend his title against Kambosos.
Lopez pulled out after he was positive for coronavirus.
After many delays, Triller, a social media platform that paid PS4.5million for the fight, finally pulled out of hosting it.
Hearn's Matchroom Boxing was the second highest bidder and won the rights. However, the long delays between the boxes have created a lot of friction.
Kambosos's father and Lopez's father fought at a media training just days before the first bell rings to settle the scores.
The traveling challenger, however, has not shown any signs of frustration and claimed that he will be able to rule over Lopez, Gervonta Davis, 27, and Ryan Garcia, 23.
Kambosos stated that he is focused and not concerned about anything. I know I will be at the top when I win all of my belts.
"I'll be emperor. They say that the 'four Kings' are the emperors. The emperor is the man who has gone to different countries and that's what he's been doing.
"I have been to the US and I beat their guys. I also went to the UK to beat their top man. I've traveled all over the world and I'm now here to beat the top American guy."
"This is business for me. He's mad, and I'm sure there has been a lot in the past.
"I am super focused, cool, calm, and collected. Beautiful, let him bring any anger to the fight.
