By Chris Williams: WBA lightweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko says he’s not interested in fighting WBC champion Mikey Garcia when he returns from his shoulder injury to fight on December 8 on ESPN.
By Chris Williams: Vasyl Lomachenko suffered a torn shoulder labrum in his right shoulder in defeating WBA World lightweight champion Jorge Linares on May 12 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Lomachenko’s shoulder popped out of the socket briefly in round 2, but he was still able to continue to fight for the last 10 rounds. Lomachenko (11-1, 9 KOs) won the fight by a 12 round unanimous decision to become a three-division world champion.
By Chris Williams: Vasyl Lomachenko won’t be fighting on August 25 as originally planned by Top Rank promoter Bob Arum. The promoter said after Lomachenko’s victory over WBA lightweight champion Jorge Linares on May 12 that he would be facing WBO 135lb champion Ray Beltran (35-7-1, 21 KOs) in a unification fight.
By Chris Williams: Bob Arum doesn’t look like he wants to wait any longer before testing Vasyl Lomachenko’s marketing appeal, as he says interested in making his next fight on August 25 against WBO lightweight champion Ray Beltran (35-7-1, 21 KOs) on pay-per-view.
By Chris Williams: 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.
