“Lomachenko plans to fight for the title of absolute champion. Vasily is the mandatory challenger in the WBO line, but Haney and Kambosos activated the rematch option. It's a big fight and we didn't want to force a mandatory defense of the WBO belt. We let Haney fight Kambosos, and Vasily is next in line.
Both guys seem to agree and want to fight Vasyl after their October 15th rematch. They will have a rematch, and the winner is aiming for a fight with Lomachenko. We will be ready for this. March, April - somewhere in this period of time, ”Klimas said in an interview with the talkSPORT Boxing YouTube channel.
Recall that the fight between Lomachenko and Ortiz will take place on October 29 in New York.
