Lomachenko was in the US a couple weeks ago and has finally released a statement saying that he has a contract and is just reviewing all the legal fine print and expects to sign it in a week or two. He plans to make his pro debut in mid to late October at 126lbs and said he would like to fight the Salido vs Cruz winner if they're open to fighting him.

He didn't name a promoter but the WBO title fight between Salido vs Cruz is October 12th on the Marquez vs Bradley Top Rank HBO card. I wonder if he'll make his debut on that undercard to try to set up a title shot against the winner of that fight?
Interesting note : Saensak Muangsurin holds the record for winning a world title in only his 3rd pro fight. If Lomachenko got that fight and won a title in his 2nd pro fight it would be a new record.
