Promoter Bob Arum said that Ukrainian boxer Vasily Lomachenko decided to return to Ukraine after the start of the war with Russia.

" I don't say it lightly. Let me give you the facts.

Before this conflict, Vasily trained in Greece. There is a church in Greece where he apparently went to purify his soul. So, Lomachenko is in Greece, this war breaks out because of Putin's aggression, he contacts his manager Egis Klimas, but his family is still in Ukraine. He couldn't just fly to Ukraine. Therefore, he flew to Romania, took a car there and arrived on the territory of Ukraine to be with his family and stand up for the country.

If he thought only of himself, he would fly to Romania, take his family and fly to the USA, where he has a house and a green card. Why didn't he do it? He feels his duty to the people of Ukraine. They are going to stand and fight Russian aggression. For me, this is real heroism," ua with a link to Fighthub.

Recall that Lomachenko returned to Ukraine and joined the defense of Belgorod-Dnestrovsky in the Odessa region.
