WBO lightweight champion Raymundo Beltran (35-7-1, 21 KOs) hopes to enter the ring with WBC belt holder Mikey Garcia (38-0, 30 KOs) while Vasyl Lomachenko (11-1, 9 KOs) is recovering from the surgery on his shoulder.

"We hoped for this fight, I would like to meet Lomachenko. I know that I have a very difficult division. I consider Mikey Garcia the strongest champion of the category and I want to fight him. It would be interesting for me,” Beltran said.

“I want to conduct fights with eminent rivals. Before, they did not really want to fight me, but now I'm a world champion and everything is different. I have not yet been told who can become my next opponent, but I want that to be an excellent opponent. So I could show that I'm a good champion. The intensive preparation will begin soon."
