Top Rank Boxing on ESPN+ features pound-for-pound boxing king Vasyl Lomachenko (12-1, 9 KOs), as he defends his WBA and WBO lightweight titles against former WBA champion Anthony Crolla (34-6-3, 13 KOs). The card takes place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California on Friday, April 12th.
Lomachenko unified two of the four major titles last December when he bested WBO champion Jose Pedraza by unanimous decision. The two-time Olympic gold medalist started 2018 by stopping Jorge Linares to capture the WBA strap, and he has visions of becoming an undisputed champ. In the meantime, he has a mandatory challenger to take care of in the form of Crolla.
