Vassil Lomachenko put his homeland above everything – and therefore from his career. The Ukrainian boxer, despite the fact that he could have left his country with the consent of the leadership’s policy to prepare for his fight with George Kampos with the prize of the world champion belt, he answered in the negative.
As it became known, he decided to stay in the war zone, defending his homeland and later, if all goes well, to go to the ring for the long-awaited fight. This decision was accepted with enthusiastic comments from the fans of the sport but also from the Greek-Australian boxer himself.
“I respect his decision and I understand him. I pray for you and your country. “Stay safe, I will finish with Hani and we will both play, two true champions”, said Kamposos.
We remind you that Lomachenko is not the only Ukrainian boxer who has left his training and career to be in his country and support it in the invasion of Russia. The other boxer is Usik who, although he had the belt of the world champion in the “heavy” category, reportedly does not want to leave his country to play for the belt with Anthony Joshua in the second match between them.
