How Vasyl Lomachenko arrives
There is an expectation around the fight as it implies the return of the Ukrainian after his defeat against Teofimo Lopez in a fight in which Lomachenko put at stake the World Boxing Association, World Boxing Council, and World Boxing Organization belts and lost the unification to the Honduran, who held the International Boxing Federation belt. The Ukrainian “Loma” has a record of 12-2 in world championship fights and 8-2 against champions and former champions. He defeated 12 opponents in championship fights, with 9 wins by OK. In addition, as an amateur, he won two Gold medals in the Olympic Games: Beijing 2008 (featherweight) and London 2012 (lightweight).
How Masayoshi Nakatani arrives
As for his next opponent, it is worth noting that after building an 18-fight undefeated record, in 2019 Nakatani lost by unanimous decision to Teofimo Lopez, but he is still remembered for being the one who has done the most work to Lopez, and from there he claimed he would never face such a tall boxer again. Later, in his only performance in 2020, he defeated Felix “Diamante” Verdejo by KO in 9 rounds, in a difficult fight in which he kissed the canvas twice before finishing his opponent.
