This Saturday, at an evening in Las Vegas, the former world champion in three weight categories Vasyl Lomachenko (14-2, 10 KOs) will hold his next professional fight. For the Ukrainian, this will be a return to the ring after last year's defeat to Teofimo Lopez and the loss of his lightweight championship belts.
The opponent of the two-time Olympic champion will be Masayoshi Nakatani (19-1, 13 KOs) of Japan, who knocked out Felix Verdejo in December and won the belt of the WBO intercontinental champion in the super lightweight division. The Japanese earned his only defeat as a pro at the hands of Teofimo Lopez.
A few days after the October defeat, Lomachenko underwent surgery on his right shoulder, but today the Ukrainian has successfully sparred, and now it's only a week before his return. The boxing night at the Vegas Hotel in Las Vegas will be attended by fans.
