Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, Vasily decided to defend his homeland from the invaders and joined the Belgorod-Dnestrovsky terrorist defense.

Lomachenko was the main contender for the fight against the undisputed world lightweight champion George Kambosos. However, after Vasily refused to leave Ukraine, the Australian found another opponent - on June 5 he will defend the belts in a duel with American Devin Haney.

In turn, the promoter of the Ukrainian Bob Arum wants the winner of the fight between Kambosos and Haney to enter the ring against Lomachenko in the next fight..

" We couldn't get him out of there, but I hope we can do it.. I would like Lomachenko to fight one of these guys - Haney or Kambosos.

The city where he lives is located ten kilometers from Odessa.

His city was not heavily shelled, but Lomachenko is there and is doing his part in protecting the country from Russian aggression,"

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

Recall that the undefeated Ukrainian heavyweight boxer Vladislav Sirenko is preparing to return to the ring.
