Vasyl Lomachenko will most probably face Beltran for another 135 title in August. It would be a logical choice, and a good fight to get more work at 135 in preparation for Mikey Garcia, while Garcia himself will likely face Easter.

Arum says Lomachenko could fight Ray Beltran next, not Mikey Garcia
Promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank says newly crowned WBA World lightweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko will likely face WBO lightweight champion Ray Beltran next rather than WBC champion Mikey Garcia.
Arum didn’t sound positive at all when he answered questions about whether Lomachenko (11-1, 9 KOs) will fight Mikey.
Lomacenko, 30, stopped WBA 135lb champion Jorge Linares (44-4, 27 KOs) in the 10th round with a left to the body last Saturday night at Madison Square Garden in New York. The fight was televised on Top Rank Boxing on ESPN.
“Beltran is the obvious opponent,” Arum said about who Lomachenko will fight next in August.
