Mike Coppinger experiences that Lomachenko (18-3, 12 KOs) is contemplating Retirement. Followers on social media aren’t taking the information too effectively of Lomachenko probably hanging up his gloves, viewing it as an indication that he’s ducking the Gervonta Davis battle.
Those self same followers probably haven’t adopted the game carefully sufficient to know that Lomachenko had been calling out Tank since 2017 and been ignored by him and his administration till 2024. Seven years in the past, Lomachenko was 29 and Tank 23, however there was no curiosity.
Now that Lomachenko is about to show 37 in February 2025, Tank Davis needs to battle him. It’s apparent that Davis views Lomachenko as outdated, beatable now, and price preventing. However earlier in his profession, he was too harmful; therefore, he was averted.
Lomachenko had been out of the ring for a yr and was reportedly persuaded to take the battle with Kambosos Jr. final Might to battle for the vacant IBF light-weight belt, which he received by an Eleventh-round knockout. Loma probably would have retired already if not persuaded to return to the ring for the Kambosos Jr. battle.
For Lomachenko to come back again to battle Tank Davis, it’s not nearly as good a battle as a result of he could be smaller, weaker and loads older than the Baltimore native. Clearly, if Tank had fought Lomachenko in 2017, it might have been a distinct story.
Followers want to see Lomachenko return to the ring to battle a rematch in opposition to Devin Haney, who beat him by a controversial 12 spherical unanimous resolution in Might 2023 in Las Vegas. Nevertheless, given the large dimension of Haney, who appeared drained making 140 for his final battle in April, it’s bodily not possible for Loma and him to battle once more.
