Former world lightweight champion Vasily Lomachenko has given up the fight for the title of absolute world champion with Australian George Cambosos. This was reported by ESPN journalist Mike Koppinger.
According to the source, the fight with Kambosos was offered to the American Devin Haney after Lomachenko decided to stay in Ukraine during the war with Russia.
“Vasily, I respect your decision. I understand everything and I will pray for you and your country. Please take care of yourself. And after I wipe the canvas of the ring with Devin, we will meet in one ring in the battle of real champions. God bless you “, – Kambosos reacted to the decision of the Ukrainian.
We will remind, on February 24 the president of the Russian Federation Putin made the urgent statement on carrying out special military operation in the territory of Ukraine, having begun large-scale invasion of the Ukrainian cities.
