Vasiliy Lomachenko: record, next fight and profile →


In Thursday’s episode of “Deep Waters” on ProBox TV, analyst Shawn Porter compares the profiles of 36-year-old former three-division titleholder Vasiliy Lomachenko to that of 33-year-old Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. Porter says, despite recent talk of Lomachenko’s decline, that the Ukrainian lightweight “still has what it takes to become a champion.” He also has a favorite matchup he would like to see for Lomachenko, who will first fight George Kambosos Jr. in Perth, Australia, on Sunday.

Due to the forecast of rain, the public workouts ahead of Vasiliy Lomachenko’s vacant IBF lightweight title fight with George Kambosos were moved indoors, and as the final stages of the build-up ticked by, the fighters shared as astonishingly long-face off, that lasted more than three minutes and endured through the attempted intervention of heavyweight Lucas Browne.

Maxi Hughes believes that George Kambosos Jr has to “throw caution to the wind” and fight like Orlando Salido to stand any chance of victory over Vasiliy Lomachenko

Vasiliy Lomachenko doesn’t need to do this, continuing this pursuit to recapture another belt as a lightweight champion.
