It's a good fight, we'll see who wins. Navarette fights next Saturday, also for the lightweight title. So he's also a contender for the Lomachenko fight.
Shakur Stevenson fights in July. He's a candidate too. When the time comes, I'll talk to Lomachenko's manager, he'll talk to Vasyl and his father, and then we'll announce an amazing fight together," Arum told Fight Hype.

Maybe Lomachenko will be back in November against Shakur Stevenson. We'll see. Did Lomachenko surprise me? 100%. A great vintage performance. Unfortunately for George, he came out against Lomachenko in his top form.
Can Lomachenko try to get fights with Stevenson and Gervonta Davis? Yes. Why not? But let's savor the moment and then decide the next step tomorrow," Arum told YouTube channel Fight Hype.
