Boxing Preview: Vasyl Lomachenko vs Teofimo Lopez

Vasyl Lomachenko (14-1, 10 KOs), one of the greatest amateur boxers of all time, quickly staked his claim as one the P4P best fighters in the paid ranks. He claimed belts at featherweight and superfeatherweight and is now on his way to unifying the lightweight division. Standing in his way is one of boxing’s brightest prospects, 23-year-old Teofimo Lopez (15-0, 12 KOs) who took the IBF title with a destruction of Richard Commey in his last fight.

Lomachenko turned pro after earning a second Olympic gold medal at the London Games. He fought for a title in just his second fight, a loss to Orlando Salido, and won a belt in his third against Gary Russell Jr.
