Top Ukrainian Boxer Is Choosing His Country
Um grande boxeador ucraniano recusou uma oportunidade de lutar em uma partida do campeonato mundial para ficar em casa e defender seu país. The two-time Olympic gold medalist decided to stay in his native country and fight Australia’s George Kambosos Jr., who holds the major lightweight title. Lomachenko plans to remain in his native Ukraine to defend the country’s honour.
A top Ukrainian boxer chooses his country instead of a world title fight. Vasiliy Lomachenko is a former lightweight champion linked with a June 5 bout with Australian lightweight George Kambosos. The fight was cancelled after the latter’s recent decision to join a territorial defence battalion in Ukraine. He later flew to Greece and returned to his home outside of Odesa.
Lomachenko’s decision to stay in Ukraine is that the Ukrainian government has banned men between 18 e 60 from leaving the country. The Kyiv government is blocking any male boxer from leaving the country for any reason, so Lomachenko’s team has been seeking permission to leave the country for the fight. He is joining the likes of the Klitschko brothers and Oleksandr Usyk in taking up arms against Russia. The rumours surrounding the upcoming fight are not only concerning the boxer but also affecting the sport.
While his opponent George Kambosos Jr. is the current world lightweight champion in Australia, Lomachenko’s decision to stay in Ukraine is surprising to fans. Although he is one of the most popular boxers globally, he is not happy with the decision. Ele optou por ficar em seu país de origem ao invés de correr atrás do título mundial contra o adversário na Austrália. Ele poderá lutar em um país que ama.
Um grande boxeador ucraniano está escolhendo seu país. Lomachenko, campeão mundial de três pesos e duas vezes medalhista de ouro olímpico, está recusando uma luta pelo título mundial na Austrália devido à agitação política na Ucrânia. Contudo, o governo ucraniano também restringiu o movimento de pessoas suspeitas de promover propaganda anti-russa. The Interior Ministry has imposed strict rules in this regard, which could hinder the upcoming clash.
Vasyl Lomachenko, a three-weight world champion and Olympic gold medalist, has turned down a world title fight in Australia and opted to stay in Ucrânia. The former lightweight champion had been linked to an upcoming title fight in Australia with the Greek champion George Kambosos Jr. Last month. He decided to join the territorial defence battalion and fly back to his hometown Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi.
