Popular Ukranian fighter Vasyl Lomachenko returns to the ring this weekend to continue his comeback trail. The 34-year-old suffered his second ever pro defeat in 2020, dropping a unanimous decision to Teofimo Lopez.
In losing to Lopez, Loma lost his WBA (super), WBO and The Ring lightweight titles. Since then he has beaten Masayoshi Nakatani and Richard Commey. Next up for him is Jamaine Ortiz.
Ortiz is a 16-0-1 fighter with 8 KOs to his name. The 26-year-old is yet to fight for a world title, but that will change if he’s able to stifle Lomachenko and get his hand raised on Saturday night.
The event starts 8 p.m. ET with the main event ringwalks estimated to be 10 p.m. ET. The entire event is available on ESPN+.
