WBO world champion in the second featherweight champion Ukrainian Vasily Lomachenko is now preparing for his first lightweight fight, where his rival will be Venezuelan Jorge Linares.
And recently there was information that at the time of the battle three titles can stand right away.
So, coach Alexander Carnation Marco Contreras said that the WBC belt, which may deprive Mikey Garcia as a result of his transition to light welterweight, can move to Linares, who owns the WBC Diamond belt.
"If Mikey Garcia loses title, then Linares will become a regular champion. This may well be, "- said Contreras.
And Lomachenko himself noted that the magazine The Ring can provide his belt for his battle against Linares.
"I think that The Ring will give us the opportunity to fight for their title. One blow, and you have three belts, "- said the Ukrainian.
Now at stake is the WBA belt.
Recall, it became known recently that Linares said goodbye to his coach Ismael Salas before the start of preparation for the fight with the Ukrainian.
Note that the boxers have already finally agreed to hold a fight that will be held on May 12, 2018 at the world famous Madison Square Garden in New York.
