Shakur Stevenson feels that the legendary Vasiliy Lomachenko is deliberately not fighting him. The World Boxing Council (WBC) lightweight title holder sees that before Lomachenko retires, it is a must-fight that should take place, according to The Ring Magazine. ‘
However, Lomachenko’s manager Egis Klimas is not clear if the legendary boxer would return to the boxing ring again.
The Urkarunian boxer’s last fight was against George Kambosos Jr, which he won via TKO in the 11th round back in May 2024 in Australia.
As a pro, Lomachenko has won 18 of his 21 fights overall. Stevenson is a three-weight world champion. However, he has yet to beat a mega-name.
“With the Loma fight, I kind of looked up to Lomachenko,” Stevenson said on The Ring podcast.
“I’ll be honest. I had a certain look up to Lomachenko. He was that guy for me. For him to really be something like a duck, like he doesn’t really want to fight me, it just kind of made me look at him a little bit differently. Truthfully, I still think he had a hell of a career. He was a legend, but I still think he ducked me.”
Stevenson has won all 23 of his professional fights in boxing. He is hoping to get some great fights in 2025 to move his career ahead.
