“I just lost motivation. My goal was to become the undisputed world champion. After losing the fight with Devin Haney, I realized it was my last chance. Then I took one more belt—and realized that was it. It's not about injuries. Only motivation,” Lomachenko said in an interview with the Fight News YouTube channel.
Recall that 37-year-old Lomachenko announced his retirement from boxing in June of this year. In the professional ring, the Ukrainian had 18 victories and suffered three defeats.
