The parties are allegedly already negotiating a fight
WBA Lightweight Champion Trainer Gervonta “Tank” Davis Kenny Ellis announced that he is starting work on a possible fight with the IBF and IBO lightweight champion Vasily Lomachenko.
In addition, Ellis offered advice to Lomachenko’s team. The coach suggested that the Ukrainian invite former world champion Timothy Bradley to his headquarters.
“Due to strong rumors, I am introducing phase No. 1 – studying Lomachenko. So that when the time comes, the battle will take its course. “I hope Lomachenko lets Timothy Bradley work in his corner so he can pick up Loma’s shoes when ‘The Tank’ knocks him out of them,” Ellis said.
Earlier, 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.
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.
