Following a remarkable professional career, the great Vasiliy Lomachenko announced his retirement from boxing. Top Rank has been privileged to promote “Loma” for the entirety of his historic journey, which included world titles in three weight classes and recognition as the sport’s preeminent pound-for-pound fighter.
Lomachenko tied a boxing record by winning a world title in his third professional bout and became a three-weight world champion in 12 fights, setting a new standard in the sport.
Before turning pro, he had an incomparable amateur record of 396-1, winning a pair of Olympic and World Championship gold medals for his native Ukraine. In 2022, he put his career on hold, returning to his homeland to join a territorial defense battalion after the Russian invasion.
Top Rank Chairman Bob Arum said, “It’s been an honor for all of us at Top Rank to promote the pro boxing career of Vasiliy Lomachenko. He was a generational champion, and we will all miss his participation in the sport.”
