The great boxing Vasiliy Lomachenko retired from boxing at the age of 37 after a unique career both amateur and professional.

The Ukrainian Supergivid gathered one of the largest amateur records at 396-1 before Turning Pro.

Vasiliy appeared on the stage in 2006, winning the Youth World Championships. Then he won silver in a featherweight in the Amateur World Championships in Chicago.

“Loma” suffered the only loss of his career in the unpaid code in the final against Albert Selimov.

The following year, Lomachenko won gold at the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008. He repeated a feat four years later in London, winning Olympic gold again.

In the meantime, Lomachenko won the world championship twice, looking unbeatable.

After London, the time has come for Lomachenko to become a professional. The availability of the 25-year-old has changed the plans of each promoter around the world.

Ultimately, the legendary promoter Top Rank Bob Arum won the race.

According to World Boxing News, Oscar de la Hoya was a leader and almost signed a contract with the Golden Boy Promotions.

However, Arum promised Lomachenko that he could order him and fight for the title of world champion in the first and second duel.

Then the contract was concluded.

Lomacheko actually wanted to compete for the belt in his first duel. Despite this, when Arum explained that it was impossible due to the need for the ranking, the amateur star agreed and signed the contract.

Turning Pro in October 2013 Lomachenko fought for the International Title of the WBO featherweight against Jose Luis Ramirez. This scenario meant that Lomachenko would be assessed by the WBO in the first fifteenth and qualifying for the title in his next fight.

The impressive space of the fourth round assured that everyone in the division knew that Lomachenko was a real opportunity.

Five months later, after he turned 26, Arum brought Loamchenko with an experienced professional Orlando Salido. The Mexican had 55 professionals at the belt and was a high order for Lomachenko only in his second fight in paid ranks.

Lomachenko was aimed at destroying the record for the fastest winning title of the world champion in history, but Salido had other ideas.

Salido nodded thanks to the divided decision to Alamodome in San Antonio. Despite his failure, Lomachenko proved that he was a world -class and belonged to the ring with Salido caliber boxers.

Three months later, Arum had all confidence in putting Lomachenko with Gary Russell Jr. On an empty WBO belt, which he missed against Salido.

This time Lomachenko completed his unique mission and won his first world title in his third fight.

Creating three defense, Lomachenko moved to win the title of WBO Super Feather Wweight against Roman Martinez. In this process he became the king of two weighted in seven duels.

There were four more defenses, including the outstanding victory over the Cuban legend of Guillermo Rigondeaux. Then Loma defeated Jorge Linares to become the number of WBN Pound for pounds before he sought for the third grade in his 13th duel.

Lomachenko rejected Jose Pedraza before he set out to double English, which would mean the unification of a slight division.

The detention of Anthony Collla in four in Staples Center and dropping and defeating Luke Campbell in London gave Lomachenko WBO and WBC Lightweight Champion.

With a certain place in the history of boxing, Lomachenko signed a contract with the unknown Teofimo Lopez in the highest rank bubble at MGM Grand.

Lopez won the shock to cause only the third loss of Lomachenko in over 400 duels, amateur and professional.

By putting a loss on one side, Lomachenko won three wins in a row to put himself on a crack at Unified Champion Devin Haney.

In the battle of May 2023, which was the most thinking of Lomachenko enough to win, Haney decided what quickly became his least favorite place to the box in MGM in Las Vegas.

Lomachenko fought again before he decided to hang the gloves. “Hi-tech” defeated George Cambosos Jr. For an empty IBF title in Australia to complete his career as a five -time world champion in three expiry.

Lomachenko announced that he had had a year to leave this sport, he announced his retirement to the world, despite reports of further negotiations with Gervont Davis.

He said: “First of all, I want to thank our Lord Jesus Christ for everything he did for me. For leading a proud youthful man on a path that eventually showed me that fame, heritage and recognition are not a real goal of life.

“I am grateful for every victory and every failure, both in the ring and in life. I am grateful that when my career ends, I generated clarity about the direction in which a person must achieve to achieve a real victory, not only in the ring, but in overcoming his ancient self.
