Negotiations between the parties are already underway; the fight between the American and the Ukrainian could take place in November
WBA lightweight belt holder Gervonta Davis (30-0, 28 KO) unequivocally commented on his future possible fight against the IBF and IBO world champion Vasily Lomachenko (18-3, 12 KOs).
“I’m ready to fight anyone. My prediction for the fight with Lomachenko? It’s time to kick his ass!”
Yesterday, promoter Bob Arum said that representatives of the American and Ukrainian have been negotiating for several weeks about a head-to-head confrontation between the two champions. According to preliminary information, the Lomachenko-Davis fight could take place in November 2024.
On the night of June 16, Gervonta defended his championship title, knocking out compatriot Frank Martin. The 29-year-old boxer remains undefeated, and he won 28 of his thirty victories ahead of schedule.
This fight became the central event of the boxing event in Las Vegas. Earlier here, Ukrainian Alexander Gvozdyk lost on points to American David Benavidez in the fight for the vacant title of interim WBC light heavyweight champion.
On May 12, Lomachenko defeated Australian George Kambosos by technical knockout in his last fight. The Ukrainian won the vacant IBF lightweight belt, which was previously vacated by his previous opponent Devin Haney. Vasily also took away the IBO belt, which Kambosos owned.
