Vasiliy Lomachenko has returned to boxing.
Lomachenko had been serving with the Belgorod-Dnestrovsky Territorial Defense Battalion in his native Ukraine.
“I pray every day for Ukraine, for the people…. and stop the war. When I came back to Ukraine, I believe it was the second day of war. Your mind changes because you see a different life. It’s a different life. Nobody knows what happened on this day. It’s very bad. It’s very bad for the world,” Lomachenko said. “I’ve prepared for this moment, and I need this chance. I need this fight… undisputed. Undisputed world champion.”
Lomachenko (16-2, 11 KOs) has won his last two fights against Masayoshi Nakatani and Richard Commey.
