As previously reported on BoxingScene.com, two-time Olympic champion Vasily Lomachenko, 25-years-old, says he is ready to enter the pro ranks. The talented fighter won gold as a featherweight at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and repeated his success at the 2012 London games at lightweight.

Veteran promoter Don King is very interested in signing Lomachenko and wants to make him a star in the United States.

"In order to conquer the American market, the boxer must communicate in one language with his fans. Let's see if Lomachenko is ready to show his skills in the ring," King said.
