The conqueror of three weight divisions and the ex-lightweight hegemon Ukrainian Vasily Lomachenko (16-2, 11 KOs) will return to the ring at the end of October, the observer informs
Mike Coppinger.
According to him, the Ukrainian gave the green light to the duel with the undefeated American Jemaine Ortiz (16-0-1, 8 KOs), who joined Top Rank after the May victory over the age ex-world champion compatriot Jamel Herring.
Coppinger writes: “Lomachenko and Ortiz have given the go-ahead for a lightweight bout tentatively scheduled for late October. Our sources told us about it. Lomachenko arrived in Los Angeles on Tuesday to begin a full training camp. The Ukrainian is then targeting the winner of the fight between Devin Haney and George Kambosos on October 15th.”
Lomachenko, upon arrival in America, spoke about the war in Ukraine, but it seems that
did not understandhow and why it started.
In July, we wrote the material Return of Lomachenko. Top 16 options for October. Ortiz was on the list of candidates at number 2 – we only assessed the chances of the African Jeremiah Nakatila above, who previously beautifully upset the ex-hegemon in 59 kg Miguel Berchelt from Mexico.
Haney and Kambosos will determine the undisputed champion of the division in a repetitive face-to-face fight. In the first battle, the American celebrated a confident victory.
