American includes Vasyl Lomachenko and Denis Berinchyk in the list of the best lightweights in the world
Undefeated American lightweight Raymond Murattaglia believes that the IBF and IBO lightweight champion Vasily Lomachenko will lose to the WBA belt holder Gervonta “Tank” Davis.
“If I had to rank the best lightweights in the world right now, I think Tank would be first, then Shakur Stevenson, then Lomachenko, and then Denis Berinchyk.”
“Tank and Loma will be a good fight. I think if Loma can box the whole fight, he will be able to do something. But overall, I believe Tank will win. I think his power will be too much for Lomachenko in the later rounds of the fight.”
Earlier, promoter Bob Arum said that representatives of Lomachenko and Davis have been negotiating for several weeks about a face-to-face 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 by knocking out fellow countryman Frank Martin. The 29-year-old boxer remains undefeated, with 28 of his 30 victories coming 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 the IBO belt, which was held by Kambosos.
