Vasily Lomachenko couldn't win Devina Haney in the fight for the title of absolute lightweight champion. The young American won by unanimous decision. After the fight, a video became viral, in which the Ukrainian could not hold back his tears in the locker room. Thor Rank later released a follow-up video that expands on the episode, revealing that Lomachenko burst into tears in an ESPN interview after mentioning his cheerleader.
“I'm glad God gave me this second chance. I want to thank Jesus Christ for this. I want to thank Bob Arum and Top Rank for giving me this chance. My team, father, Andrey (Kolosov), Egis (Klimas), Ras (Anber), my family. All the fans and friends who support me. My main fan is my son, who is waiting for me at home...” — at this phrase, Lomachenko was forced to break off from surging emotions.
