Ukrainian will hold at least one big fight
Promoter Bob Arum said that the ex-world champion in three weight categories Vasily Lomachenko will not end his career after losing to the undisputed lightweight champion of the world Deva haney.
Will we see Lomachenko in another big fight? Yes, definitely. Vasily has been with us since his first professional fight. Not only do I adore him as a fighter, but we also became friends with him and his father. They are nice people, and he is by no means finished.”
Lomachenko lost in a fight against Haney for the title of undisputed world lightweight champion. According to the results of 12 rounds, the judges gave the victory to the American boxer: 116:112, 115:113, 115:113.
The sports community spoke about the unfair decision of the panel of judges. At the same time, WBC President Mauricio Suleiman supported the decision of the judges, pointing out that the fight was very close on points.
Lomachenko fought his 20th fight in the professional ring and suffered his third defeat in his career. Undefeated Haney won his 30th fight and defended the undisputed lightweight title of the world champion.
Egis Klimas, the manager of the Ukrainian boxer, sent letters to the WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO asking him to appoint the Ukrainian as a mandatory contender for the lightweight belts owned by Haney.
