Vasiliy Lomachenko: record, next fight and profile →
WBO super featherweight world champion Vasyl Lomachenko was a special guest on 'A Los Golpes' and was asked to provide his personal list of the top five pound-for-pound fighters in the sport.
He wants to fight Vasyl Lomachenko. That’s one of the first things Yuriorkis Gamboa told Oscar De La Hoya and Golden Boy Promotions president Eric Gomez when he signed a multi-fight agreement with the company in January. It’s a goal Gomez and De La Hoya hope to help Gamboa meet later this year.
Vasyl Lomachenko was asked if when he looks in the mirror he sees the best boxer, pound-for-pound, in the world. “It’s very hard to answer this question because when I look in the mirror, I don’t think about who’s the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter,” Lomachenko said through a translator during a recent conference call. “I’m just shaving myself or I’m working on my hair. But I don’t think at that moment about who’s the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter.”
Vasyl Lomachenko had hoped to get the opportunity to avenge his lone professional loss in his next fight. There was a time when he thought a rematch against Orlando Salido was basically a done deal. Ultimately, though, Salido turned down the bout because he wanted more money than he was offered by Lomachenko’s promoter, Top Rank Inc.
Former world champion Roman 'Rocky' Martinez is well ware of the offensive explosiveness, the speed and technical capacity of Vasyl Lomachenko. Last June at Madison Square Garden's Theater in Manhattan, Lomachenko pulled in a vicious fifth round knockout of Martinez to capture the WBO super featherweight world title.
LONDON - A star-studded night of boxing on BoxNation just got better with ‘The Channel of Champions’ set to show pound-for-pound star and WBO super-featherweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko’s world title defence against Jason Sosa exclusively live on Saturday April 8th.
Vasyl Lomachenko’s drawing power in the United States hasn’t quite caught up with his incredible boxing ability. Lomanchenko’s next fight will take place in another cozy venue, which can accommodate roughly 3,000 fans for boxing. The highly skilled Ukrainian southpaw is scheduled to return to the ring April 8, when the two-time Olympic gold medalist will defend his WBO world super featherweight championship against Jason Sosa.
Vasyl Lomachenko wanted his fight against Jason Sosa to be contested for his WBO 130-pound title and Sosa’s version of the WBA championship. The WBA intends to strip Sosa, though, thus they’ll fight for Lomachenko’s championship alone April 8 inside The Theater at MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland. After multiple opponents turned down the opportunity to fight him, the Ukrainian southpaw is just thankful Sosa stepped up to accept the challenge.
Gilberto Jesus Mendoza, president of the World Boxing Association, announced Wednesday at a press conference held in Panama City, that his organization is making a lot of progress with eliminating unnecessary WBA titles. The organization, per Mendoza, already has 8 divisions out of the 17 in boxing , with only one champion.
