WBA and WBO lightweight world champion Vasyl Lomachenko (12-1, 9 KOs) do not believe that Mikey Garcia (39-1, 30 KOs) will return to the lightweight division:
“Garcia just has to sink into lightweight and that's it. This is the only thing you need for our battle. For me, lifting in weight is too much, I don't want to do that. I'm ready to fight him in the lightweight division. But I do not believe that he can go down in this weight. Because, it seems to me, he does not want to,” Lomachenko said.
