Two division world champion and pound for pound superstar Vasyl “Hi-Tech” Lomachenko returns to a Los Angeles ring for the first time in over three years when he headlines an all-action card, Saturday, August 5, at Microsoft Theater! Lomachenko will be defending his World Boxing Organization (WBO) junior lightweight world title against two-time world title challenger and Top-10 contender Miguel "Escorpión" Marriaga.
The co-main event will feature three-time world title challenger and top-rated lightweight contender Ray “Sugar” Beltran defending his NABF and NABO lightweight titles against former two-time interim World Boxing Association (WBA) super featherweight world champion Bryan Vasquez. The four gladiators boast a combined professional record of 102-12-1 (67 KOs).
"I can't wait to get back in the ring on August 5th," said Lomachenko. "I respect all of my opponents who are willing to step in ring with me and I will be at my best to show the boxing fans what boxing is all about it."
"I have respect but no fear of Lomachenko and I cannot wait to fight for his world title," said Marriaga. "Fighting Lomachenko on ESPN opens the door for my present and for my future . I'm training very hard in Mexico City and I'll be ready on August 5. I'm going to give him a real fight."
Ticket prices are $130, $105, $80, $55 and $30.
