JAKARTA - Vasiliy Lomachenko admits that he is willing to go anywhere to face the holder of three lightweight world titles (61.2 kg) George Kambosos Jnr.
The Ukrainian boxer's confidence has increased again after winning by unanimous points in the WBO Inter-Continental lightweight title fight against Richard Commey at Madison Square Garden, New York on Sunday.
Loma, Vasyl Lomachenko's nickname, immediately conveyed his next goal, namely to win the WBA Super, IBF and WBO titles belonging to Kambosos.
He admitted that he was willing to fight in Australia, which is the country of origin of Kambosos.
"I will go anywhere to be able to fight him (Kambosos). I need this opportunity, and if there is an opportunity, I will take it," Loma said as quoted by Antara from DAZN.
Dealing with Kambosos, continued Loma, is one way to achieve the goal of becoming an undisputed boxer in the lightweight class. However, the 33-year-old boxer admitted that he would not refuse if he first dueled against other boxers.
Apart from Kambosos, there are a number of options for Loma's next opponent, including WBC world title holder Devin Haney, three-division world title holder Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia.
"In this (lightweight) division, there are many great and top boxers. So, we can arrange another match that is no less great," said Lomachenko.
Lomachenko is trying to get back on his feet after losing three WBA Super, IBF and WBO world titles after losing to Teofimo Lopez at The Bubble, MGM Grand, Las Vegas, on October 17, 2020.
After that, before defeating Commey, he rose by winning a duel against Masayoshi Nakatani at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, Las Vegas, on June 26, 2021.
While Kambosos defeated Teofimo Lopez and simultaneously won three titles in the lightweight division at Madison Square Garden Theater, New York, on November 27, 2021.
