Vasily Lomachenko is considering retirement from the game after his latest title win in Could in opposition to George Kambosos Jr. The 36-year-old Lomachenko handed up on the chance to face Gervonta Davis in December as a result of he needed to take the rest of 2024 off after his win over Kambosos.
Mike Coppinger reviews that Lomachenko (18-3, 12 KOs) is contemplating Retirement. Followers on social media aren’t taking the information too nicely of Lomachenko presumably hanging up his gloves, viewing it as an indication that he’s ducking the Gervonta Davis combat.
Those self same followers doubtless haven’t adopted the game carefully sufficient to know that Lomachenko had been calling out Tank since 2017 and been ignored by him and his administration till 2024. Seven years in the past, Lomachenko was 29 and Tank 23, however there was no curiosity.
Now that Lomachenko is about to show 37 in February 2025, Tank Davis desires to combat him. It’s apparent that Davis views Lomachenko as outdated, beatable now, and value preventing. However earlier in his profession, he was too harmful; therefore, he was averted.
Lomachenko had been out of the ring for a 12 months and was reportedly persuaded to take the combat with Kambosos Jr. final Could to combat for the vacant IBF light-weight belt, which he gained by an Eleventh-round knockout. Loma doubtless would have retired already if not persuaded to return to the ring for the Kambosos Jr. combat.
For Lomachenko to return again to combat Tank Davis, it’s not pretty much as good a combat as a result of he could be smaller, weaker and rather a lot older than the Baltimore native. Clearly, if Tank had fought Lomachenko in 2017, it might have been a distinct story.
Followers wish to see Lomachenko return to the ring to combat a rematch in opposition to Devin Haney, who beat him by a controversial 12 spherical unanimous resolution in Could 2023 in Las Vegas. Nevertheless, given the large dimension of Haney, who appeared drained making 140 for his final combat in April, it’s bodily not possible for Loma and him to combat once more.
