Speaking to Helen Yee, Kambosos Jr. said:

"I think it'll be a good fight, I think it'll be a great fight. And I think, he's very focused. As much as he's a YouTuber and he has come from that sort of thing, he really dedicated himself in boxing, so I think yeah he'll be able to do the business but again, Tommy Fury is from that lineage of the Fury family..."

"Yeah look, he put up some great tweets and he was very excited about the fight, he was on the edge of the seat watching the fight and someone gave my number to him and he made the call, video call and we had a chat. I was excited, he's a star, global star and I gave him a few tips on his fight because he's in a tough fight as well... But if you believe it, you can achieve it like I did."
