Negotiations has started on the organization of the fight between WBO and WBA lightweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko (13-1, 10 KOs) and Luke Campbell (20-2, 16 KOs). The bout may take place at the end of August in London.
The promoters of the boxers Eddie Hearn and Bob Arum agree that the fight should take place in the UK, where Lomachenko did not fight yet. The Ukrainian and the Englishman were ordered as contenders for the vacant WBC belt. Earlier this title belonged to Mikey Garcia.
In his last professional bout Lomachenko stopped Anthony Crolla. If the Ukrainian beats Campbell, he will have three out of four main lightweight titles. For Campbell it will be a second chance in his career to challenge the title of world champion as a pro.
