The full-scale invasion of the Kremlin troops made adjustments to the plans of the Ukrainian boxer.
Former world champion Vasily Lomachenko says why he did not fight for the title of absolute world champion in lightweight after the start of a full-scale war with Russia.
According to the Ukrainian boxer, he could not imagine his dream, because he had to stand up for his own country.
“I thought the fight for the title of absolute champion would be my next step, but life changed my plans. On February 24, a war broke out in my country, and at that moment I could not leave it. I could not leave .to realize my dream, achieve my goal, because I had a great responsibility to my family and country.
When the war started, it frustrated all the plans of everyone in our country. At this moment, you’re just thinking about your future life,” Lomachenko said in the documentary Battle Lines: Lomachenko.
Recall that after the start of a massive war, Lomachenko joined the ranks of the territorial defense, refusing to fight with George Kambosos for the title of absolute champion. Subsequently, the Australian boxer lost the title to Devin Haney.
Remember that on October 29, the Ukrainian boxer will fight Jamen Ortiz. Earlier, Lomachenko talked about why he became a defensive fighter.
