“Ferocious” Kambosos (17-0, 10 KO)
fought exclusively in his native Australia until 2018, when he took his
first stateside fight to kick off a four-fight streak that saw him
compete in the USA, Kuala Lumpur, and Greece. Despite a résumé that
rings more of “prospect” than “contender,” he’s actually the
highest-ranked IBF lightweight behind Commey and Lopez.

Bey (23-2-1, 11 KO), a former Money Team
representative, has had one of the weirder career arcs of any
semi-notable figure in recent memory. He famously lost to John Molina
Jr. in 2013 via literal last-minute TKO, claimed a world title via bogus
decision over Miguel Vazquez the following, vacated the belt without
defending it over a poor purse bid with Denis Shafikov, unsuccessfully
challenged Rances Barthelemy for that same belt in 2016, then vanished
from the face of the Earth.
