A prominent promoter spoke about a possible fight for the title of absolute champion.
Eddie Hearn was not impressed with the boxing shown by Vasily Lomachenko in the fight with Jemaine Ortiz. Promoter Anthony Joshua believes that the Ukrainian needs to improve his form significantly ahead of the fight for the title of absolute champion.
Therefore, the functionary sees Devin Haney as a favorite in a potential fight for all lightweight belts, but does not write off Vasily Lomachenko.
“I understand that Lomachenko vs Ortiz was fairly even, but there are a lot of reasons for that. Loma has been out of the ring for a long time, plus maybe he doesn’t have much motivation for a fight without titles. Also, he had surgery, yes and age affects.
Excellent timing for Haney, who may enter the fight as the favorite. He has size and youth, but I expect Lomachenko to be better in an all-title fight,” Hearn said on the DAZN Boxing Show.
It was previously known that Lomachenko will receive a fight for the title of undisputed world champion against Devin Haney.
