Top Rank Boxing on ESPN returns with a monumental main event between two of the top pound-for-pound pugilists in the world. WBO junior lightweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko (9-1, 7 KOs) defends his title against WBA junior featherweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux (17-0-1 NC, 11 KOs) in a matchup of two two-time Olympic gold medalists, a first in the history of boxing. Cuba’s Rigondeaux is moving up two weight classes to take on the Ukrainian sensation Lomachenko, whom unlike Rigondeaux, has steadily built a fanbase with his spellbinding performances in the ring.
New York City’s Madison Square Garden Theater is sold out for this one.
