WBC world featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr. would like to have a rematch with Ukrainian boxer Vasily Lomachenko.

“If I could have two fights, I would like to fight Gervonta Davis and Vassily Lomachenko. To be honest with you, I never lose sight of anyone..

But now I'm focused on Magsayo. He is one of those people who is ready to enter the ring and work his way up the rankings,"

Russell's next opponent will be Mark Magsio, who will fight on January 22.

Note that Gary has held the WBC title since 2015..

Russell and Lomachenko had their first battle in 2014. The Ukrainian defeated the American by majority decision and won the vacant WBO featherweight title. The defeat remains the only one in Russell's career..

Lomachenko has 16 wins (11 by knockout) and 2 losses in the professional ring. On the night of December 12, Vasily defeated the messenger Richard Commey and won the WBO Intercontinental Champion belt..
