Vasiliy Lomachenko’s record in his professional boxing career: Wins, losses, knockouts, titles

One of boxing’s fan favorites Vasiliy Lomachenko will return to action this weekend in a fight where he’s a big favorite to come out on top.

The Ukrainian will face the Australian George Kambosos Jr. at RAC Arena in Perth, looking to win the vacant IBF lightweight title.

“I’m just looking forward to the IBF title. I need to take my title, and then after that, I can think about my future”, Hi-Tech said in the pre-fight press conference.

Lomachenko, a double Olympic gold medalist, knows he won’t be in boxing for a long time, as he’s 36 and accomplished a lot during his career. However, he wants to win another belt and Kambosos Jr. offers him that possibility.

‘Loma’ wants to forget the Haney defeat

Lomachenko will make his first appearance inside the ring after suffering a controversial points defeat to Devin Haney in May last year.

Many believe The Matrix should have won the fight against the American, but Haney kept his undisputed lightweight champion status after winning the fight by unanimous decision.

Lomachenko has had 20 fights as a professional, winning 17 and losing three. Out of his 20 victories, 11 were by KO. Only three men have been able to defeat Loma: Haney, Teofimo Lopez, and Orlando Salido.

As a professional, he won world titles in three divisions: featherweight, junior lightweight, and lightweight. In his pro debut, he captured the WBO International featherweight title against Jose Luis Ramirez. Three years later, he won he became a junior lightweight champion by beating Roman Martinez and was champion at lightweight after coming out on top against Jorge Linares in 2018.

The Ukrainian is also one of the fighters with the best, most accomplished amateur career and has won multiple championships before turning pro. Besides his success in the Olympics (2008, 2012), he was also a two-time World Championship gold medalist (2009, 2011). He was also the best in the European Championship (2008), Junior World Championship (2006), and Cadet European Championship (2004).
