Following the conclusion of Vasiliy Lomachenko`s remarkable boxing career, his long-time promoter Top Rank has released a compilation highlighting his most memorable moments in the professional ring. Concurrently, the IBF has confirmed Raymond Muratalla as the new holder of their lightweight championship, a direct consequence of Lomachenko`s decision to retire.
Lomachenko`s last fight was in May, when he captured the lightweight title by defeating George Kambosos Jr. via an eleventh-round stoppage. Subsequently, his team entered discussions with Gervonta Davis for a potential unification bout in the 135-pound division. However, these negotiations were ultimately halted when Lomachenko chose to take an extended hiatus from the sport.
During his time away from active competition, Lomachenko made the personal decision to retire from professional boxing. Consequently, Raymond Muratalla, who previously held the interim IBF title, has been elevated to the status of full champion.
