British promoter Frank Warren fancies the fight between Terry Flanagan and Vasyl Lomachenko: “We are currently weighing up the options for Terry Flanagan, who could rightfully claim to be the pick of the British litter at the moment as an unbeaten 32-0 world champion. He will have to negotiate a mandatory challenge at some point this year from the talented Puerto Rican Felix Verdejo, who will present a potent threat. The thing is though, Terry also has his eye on the really big prize. He truly fancies the job against the great Vasyl Lomachenko and he and his trainer Steve Maylett are more than up for doing it.” said Warren.
“We’ve talked to Bob Arum and know what the numbers are so it is a case of making those work, but Lomachenko and Flanagan would be a tremendous fight. What is becoming clearer in this booming period for British boxing is the fact that you don’t need to be scouring the world for imports to make the big fights because there are some real potential humdingers right here on our doorstep.” Warren added.
