Maxi Hughes is set for the biggest fight of his career when he takes on the former unified world lightweight champion George Kambosos Jr this coming Saturday.
For Hughes, this is the reward for what has been a recent run of success for the Englishman, but now he steps out of his comfort zone as he makes the trip over to the States.
Kambosos meanwhile returns to the ring for the first time since back-to-back losses to Devin Haney and now the Australian looks to get back to challenging for world titles with a win over his British rival.
