Vasyl Lomachenko. Olympian boxer from Ukraine.

He won gold I think at the London Olympics. Very good fighter.

Didn't he win gold in Beijing too?

Yes, he did. London was his 2nd straight gold.

Can't confirm - but it's news I've been waiting for. He's an excellent athlete and a born fighter. He can take it very far if managed and matched well. Though he should drop a few kg's, as he was way more dominant at the 56 kg division than the 60kg.

Usyk is also a great boxer - which is a product of the Ukranian boxing school these days.

Why wait till now?
I thought he was in WSB so he could still compete for the gold

Lomanchenko is turning pro under the AIBA banner. Somehow by doing that he can keep his amateur status. It's a complete BS setup.

Ohhhhh, ok. I remember seeing something about that after the Olympics, but I thought it was about the WSB
