Top Rank promoter Bob Arum is targeting December 9 for WBO super featherweight champion Vasly Lomachenko against either Guillermo Rigondeaux or Orlando Salido.
According to Lance Pugmire, the location for a fight against Rigondeaux (17-0, 11 KOs) would be in New York. If Lomachenko (9-1, 7 KOs) fights Salido (44-13-4, 31 KOs), it would be in Los Angeles, California.
Boxing enthusiasts are interested in seeing Lomachenko fight Rigondeaux, but he’s not seemed eager to make that fight in the last 3 years. Rigondeaux has been up for a fight against Lomachenko from day one, but the fight has never happened for some reason.
The latest news has Lomachenko wanting to stay at 130 and Rigondeaux having to move up 2 entire divisions to accommodate him. Rigondeaux is willing to move up in weight just to make the fight happen.
”Told by Bob Arum that he’s eyeing Dec. 9 for Vasyl Lomachenko’s next fight, either in NY vs. Rigo El Chacal or LA vs. Siri Salido,” said Lance Pugmire on his Twitter.
If Lomachenko is finally going to fight Rigondeaux, then he should make it a fair fight by meeting him halfway by moving down to 126 for the fight instead of having him move up 2 divisions to take the fight. If Lomachenko wants to get credit for beating Rigondeaux from the boxing fans, then he’s going to have to meet him at the halfway point.
Lomachenko, 29, already fought Salido and lost to him 3 years ago in 2014.
