The formidable Ukrainian Vasyl Lomachenko reaffirmed his position as the best super-featherweight on the planet by stopping Jason Sosa at the weekend and then signalled his intention to challenge Terry Flanagan or Mikey Garcia at 135 pounds if a unification wasn't forthcoming at the lower weight.
British promoter Frank Warren fancies the fight between Terry Flanagan and Vasyl Lomachenko: “We are currently weighing up the options for Terry Flanagan, who could rightfully claim to be the pick of the British litter at the moment as an unbeaten 32-0 world champion. He will have to negotiate a mandatory challenge at some point this year from the talented Puerto Rican Felix Verdejo, who will present a potent threat. The thing is though, Terry also has his eye on the really big prize. He truly fancies the job against the great Vasyl Lomachenko and he and his trainer Steve Maylett are more than up for doing it.” said Warren.
