Former world champion boxer Vasyl Lomachenko will need to leave Ukraine in order to accept a world title fight with George Kambosos Jr.
The former unified champion lost his belts to Teofimo Lopez in 2020, but missed out on the chance at a rematch when the American was beaten in his first mandatory title defence against Kambosos Jr in November. Instead, the legendary boxer will have to travel to Melbourne to face the champion on his home turf, presumably at the Marvel Stadium.
However, he is currently preoccupied by the situation in his home country, where he has joined the Belgorod-Dniester Terror Defence Battalion after Russia invaded. He has been hailed a "hero" for taking up arms in Ukraine, where he had to drive over the border due to travel issues.
