Ukrainian star Vasiliy Lomachenko is heading back to the main room at Madison Square Garden.
Top Rank Boxing announced on Monday that the two-time Olympic gold medalist and former three-division world champion will take on the heavy-handed Richard Commey on December 11th in New York. ESPN will broadcast the event live after the college football Heisman Trophy Ceremony, which has been somewhat of a tradition for Top Rank after signing its ESPN deal in 2017.
Lomachenko (15-2, 11 KOs) bounced back from his decision defeat to Teofimo Lopez with a dominant 9th round stoppage of Japan’s Masayoshi Nakatani in June.
