Lomachenko continues to fight for his countrymen in Ukraine while getting his opportunity against Devin Haney
At 35, former pound-for-pound king Vasiliy Lomachenko is an older and wiser version than the three-division champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist that boxing fans first came to know.
Lomachenko (17-2, 11 KOs) is aware of the whispers surrounding his age following a closer-than-expected decision win over unbeaten Jamaine Ortiz last October. And for the first time in his historic pro career, he will enter a fight as the betting underdog this weekend in search of the one honor that has eluded him: a four-belt, undisputed championship.
"It's the highest level in the professional boxing," Lomachenko told "Morning Kombat" on Wednesday. "We don't know [anything] higher in the professional game. In the Olympics, the goal is the gold medal but in pro boxing, it's the four belts. That's why [I'm so motivated]."
