Former world champion in two weight categories, American Shakur Stevenson (20-0, 10 KO) said that the conqueror of three divisions Vasily Lomachenko (17-3, 11 KO) refused to fight him, despite the fact that the Ukrainian veteran was offered a record fee in his career.
“For the fight with me, Lomachenko was offered the largest fee in his career. Why doesn't he fight me? As we approach the end of our career, why not get a record check and have one of the biggest fights in boxing?” Boxing Social quotes Stevenson as saying.
Let us remind you that earlier promoter Bob Arum said that Lomachenko will not return to the ring this year due to the war against Russia.
