At one point he was probably the largest in history – even better than Sugar Ray Robinson. Although this bold claim did not ultimately maintain, there is no doubt that Vasyl Lomachenko, who announced his pension, left his trail in the boxing sport. “First of all,” he said in the film on Instagram – “I want to thank our Lord, Jesus Christ for everything he did for me, for leading a proud newborn man through a path that routinely showed me that fame, heritage and recognition are not a real goal of life.”

Indeed, often conceited Lomachenko seemed both mature and modest in the film. “I am grateful for every victory and every failure, both in the ring and in life,” he said. “I am grateful that when my career is coming to an end, I gained clarity about the direction in which a person must undertake to achieve a real victory – not only in the ring, but in overcoming the ancient self. Only then can you receive your real reward.”

The fighter known as “Loma” then praised his parents. “Thank God for my wonderful, straightforward and kind parents – for their concern, their love and warmth that I felt throughout my life. My father not only taught me boxing art, but also how to be a role model for my own children, in the same way as he was always for me … I made a lot of mistakes in my life and in the gym, but he was always on my side, improving me in the event of

After turning to him and thanks, Lomachenko drew attention to the fans. “Of course, I wouldn’t be skillful either, so as not to thank you, my dear boxing fans around the world,” he said. “You have always supported me with my passion and experienced unforgettable fights next to me for over a decade. I hope you still love this sport, because people who enter the ring, risk their health because of their families. Peace for everyone, please bless your people.”

The history of Lomachenko is fascinating. After all time appeared from amateurs, he fought for the title of world champion in his second professional fight, losing to the game and the scorching Orlando Solido in 2014. After that, the man ran, who was almost terrifying. Indeed, Lomachenko had four opponents in a row, they stopped on the stools between the rounds, so impressive was his rapid set of skills.

The second defeat suffered a second defeat after a close fight against Teofimo Lopez with the world airy supremation in autumn 2020, and then won three in a row, after which he abandoned the controversial close decision about Devin Haney last year.

Undoubtedly, the 37 -year -old Lomachenko had a professional career for himself. His retirement is well earned.

The Shakur Stevenson vs. Devin Haney fight is in the works, but there is one major issue standing in the way

Shakur Stevenson vs Devin Haney is ‘in talks’ but one major issue stands in the way

Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney are reportedly in talks for an all-American superfight.

Stevenson scored the biggest victory of his career this year, moving up to super lightweight to defeat Teofimo Lopez to become a four-division world champion.

Haney won titles in three weight classes and was undisputed at lightweight. Most recently he defeated Brian Norman Jr. for the WBO welterweight world title.

Both men have impressed in their recent wins and are widely considered two of the most technically elite fighters in the sport today. A fight between the two has been discussed for a long time, and The Ring’s Mike Coppinger reported that it could now become a reality if one key hurdle can be overcome – an agreed weight limit.

This problem is not effortless to solve and may prove too stern for negotiations to overcome. Haney said he felt best at welterweight and looked exhausted at super lightweight. Stevenson argues that his opponent faced Jose Ramirez at the 144-pound catchweight last year and could do the same again. While Haney handled the weight well and performed well on the night, there is no doubt he would have been at a disadvantage.

Stevenson, however, argued that he is still a natural lightweight – even though he looks comfortable against Lopez at 140 pounds – and that a meeting under the welterweight limit creates a more even playing field.

Time will tell whether this can be agreed behind the scenes. A significant amount could assist move things forward, but given their undefeated records, pound-for-pound status and position as the face of American boxing, both Stevenson and Haney will be cautious in making decisions.

David Benavidez says his speed will be too much for Ramirez

Image: David Benavidez Says His Speed Will Be Too Much For Ramirez

David Benavidez doesn’t think size alone will decide his fight against Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez. Ahead of the cruiserweight title clash, Benavidez says the advantage will come down to speed, combinations and a style that he feels Ramirez hasn’t faced before.

Benavidez said Ramirez is a bigger man and is used to facing naturally bigger opponents in the cruiserweight division, but he doesn’t see it as a problem. He believes the slower pace typical of this weight will work to his advantage once the punches start falling.


Benavidez said Ramirez has never faced someone like him in an official fight. Although both have sparred in the past, Benavidez has made it clear that he sees a major difference between rounds in the gym and fighting him under the lights for twelve rounds.

“There are a lot of opportunities to hit him with a lot of combinations because he is slower,” Benavidez told Double3 Coverage. “My speed, my movement and my defense will be too much for him and I will surely overwhelm and drown him with pressure and volume.”

It’s compelling that he so casually disregards the size difference. While Zurdo Ramirez is a natural cruiserweight and holds the unified WBA/WBO titles, Benavidez is betting that speed and volume will be the universal equalizer.

Benavidez sounds like a man who thinks he’s found a flaw in the system. Moving up to cruiserweight, he believes his hand speed will be a blur compared to fighters in the 200-pound division. But here comes the fear of a massacre.

He already says this is “his era.” When a fighter begins to look beyond a unified champion like Ramirez toward a September coronation or a legacy-defining run, he usually leaves his chin exposed.

On the other hand, bookmakers do not predict a massacre, at least not in the case of Benavidez. There’s a reason he’s a -600 favorite. Most analysts believe he is just unique enough that his volume will break Zurdo’s rhythm before the size difference becomes a factor.

Shakur Stevenson responds to report that he is in talks to face Devin Haney next

Shakur Stevenson has hit the brakes following reports that he is in preliminary talks to fight Devin Haney.

Both elite Americans have claims to pound-for-pound status, both boast undefeated records and are considered among the most defensively gifted operators of the contemporary era.

However, a weight class or two has always separated them, and Haney’s recent move to welterweight – a division Stevenson says he can get to but is in no rush – seemed to make that fight less likely.

To make that happen, Stevenson said he would like Haney to agree to a catchweight of 144 pounds, the same limit he reached when defeating Jose Ramirez in 2025.

Today, The Ring’s Mike Coppinger reported that discussions had already begun, but the weight was a sticking point, with Stevenson likely still insisting on the stipulation, but Haney was keen on staying at 147 pounds.

However, Stevenson has now responded to Coppinger’s claim by speaking further X that there was no contact between the teams.

“I know the fans like to get excited and can toy with you all and easily manipulate you, but this rumor is dead for the second time. I haven’t heard a word about it, [I don’t know] what are they? [trying to] hide or hide, but me and my team haven’t heard any nonsense.”

It’s unclear where Haney and Stevenson will go next Haney is reportedly considering a move to Zuffa Boxing and Stevenson are still deciding which division to compete in.

For now, it seems any excitement about their meeting on the ropes is premature.
