By Dan Ambrose: With WBA featherweight champion Nicholas Walters losing his title on the scales before his last fight against Miguel Marriaga, he lost whatever chance there was to fight WBO featherweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko (4-1, 2 KOs) in a unification match.
Lomachenko’s manager Egis Klimas says that without a title in Walters’ possession, they’re not interested in fighting him. Additionally, they’re concerned with Walters’ ability to make weight for a featherweight contest after seeing him rehydrate to 145 pounds for his featherweight contest against Marriaga.
By Dan Ambrose: Top Rank promoter Bob Arum has his work cut out for him in trying to convince WBO featherweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko to defend his title against former WBA featherweight champion Nicholas Walters (26-0, 21 KOs) now that the 29-year-old Walters no longer is the WBA title holder after losing his belt on the scales last Friday when he failed to make weight for his fight against Miguel Marriaga (20-1, 18 KOs) last Saturday night at Madison Square Garden in New York.

By Chris Williams: If the WBA/WBO super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux (15-0, 10 KOs) wants a fight against the bigger, taller, and heavier WBO featherweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko (3-1, 1 KOs), Rigondeaux will have to move up to featherweight and fight the 27-year-old Lomachenko in his weight class, because he refuses to accommodate the smaller 5’4” Rigondeaux by fighting him at a catch-weight in between the super bantamweight and featherweight divisions.
