Bob Arum is dealing at lightweight and one of the aces in his deck is Vasily Lomachenko (16-2, 11 KOs), and the head of Top Rank has clearly defined plans for the Ukrainian's career.

The former three-weight champion will return in his first fight of the year on October 29, when he crosses gloves with undefeated Jamaine Ortiz (16-0-1, 8 KOs). If he passes this obstacle, and Lomachenko is the undisputed favorite to win, then in the next fight he will face the undisputed lightweight champion Devin Haney (29-0, 15 KOs).

The best Lomachenko-Haney in the next fight, according to Arum, will meet with Shakur Stevenson (19-0, 9 KOs), who, after the world titles in featherweight and second featherweight, is now irrevocably moving to lightweight.

“I want to have a fight between Lomachenko and Haney, and then bring the best in this fight to Stevenson,” Arum said bluntly.
