WBA lightweight champion Vasily Lomachenko will not enter the ring on August 25 as planned earlier.

This was announced by the promoter of Ukrainian Bob Arum.

"Lomachenko will not fight on August 25. After the victory over Linares, he flew to Ukraine, and when he returns to California, we together with him and Egis Klimas will discuss options.

Definitely, Lomachenko will continue his career in lightweight.

We are sure that in this division we have much more options for fighting.

We have previously discussed the next fight. Most likely, we will carry out a unification battle with Beltran, but so far everything is on the level of rumors, "Arum said in an interview with ESPN.

Let's note, earlier the Ukrainian champion has refused a title in a featherweight weight category.

Let's remind, Lomachenko knocked out Linares in the 10th round and set a boxing record.
