Klimas: Lomachenko has 5-7 years more

Egis Klimas, manager of WBA lightweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko (11-1, 9 KOs) believes that the Ukrainian will fight at the highest level for another 5-7 years. “Great Britain is a very good market. Vasily needs names, boxers. If they are there, of course, we will go to the UK,” Klimas said.

“According to my scale, today Vasily is at a very high level, therefore, the transition to PPV should take place. If we can now negotiate with Mikey Garcia, it will be a very big PPV fight for America and the boxing world.

“How long will Lomachenko be on top? Personally, I would like it to last forever. I also thought that he was not a human until he boxed Mariaga, and he had a cut and bleeding. Then I realized that he was also a human.

“I think that he has about 5-7 years more left in his career. This is how I see it.”
