Vasily “Loma”Lomachenko (14-2, 10 KOs), after his devastating loss to Teofimo Lopez for all 3 of Loma’s lightweight titles, had surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. 

Many thought his injury claim was simply an excuse, or sour grapes.

However, the 33-year old warrior makes his return on June 26, 2021 vs. one of the hottest names in boxing today: Japan’s Masayoshi Nakatani (19-1, 13 KOs).

This comeback battle takes place @ The Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas, NV.. The fight will be aired LIVE on ESPN+.

The history of these fighters has some similarities: both have lost to Lopez by decision, are highly ranked, and both are looking to get another title shot, preferably vs. Lopez. 

Here’s the next step for both on that trail!
