Alexander commented on the failure of Vasily’s fight with Gervonta Davis
World Heavyweight Champion (WBO/WBA/IBO/WBC) Alexander Usik commented on the cancellation of the fight of the IBF and IBO lightweight champion Vasily Lomachenko and the WBA belt holder Gervonta “Tank” Davis.
“Lomachenko’s decision not to fight Davis? I don’t know. I want Vasiliy to box again and win,” Usyk said.
Let us recall that the negotiations about the Lomachenko-Davis fight were interrupted after the Ukrainian decided to take a break from his career. Vasily intends to rest for the rest of the season and return to the ring in 2025.
Lomachenko’s managers were reportedly in talks for some time about holding a fight with Davis. The event was planned for November 2024 in Las Vegas, USA at the MGM Grand or T-Mobile Arena.
Earlier, Vasyl Lomachenko’s manager Egis Klimas said that the Ukrainian wants to spend more time with his family and spoke about his lack of motivation at the moment.
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.
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.
