After comfortably dispatching the overmatched Miguel Marriaga earlier this month, reigning WBO junior lightweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko (9-1, 7 KOs) is set to return to the ring on December 9th at Madison Square Garden Theater in New York.
According to Dan Rafael, Lomachenko’s next fight will once again be airing live on ESPN, and the opponent will certainly intrigue at least hardcore boxing fans.
Lomachenko's next fight supposed to be Dec. 9 at MSG Theater on ESPN. Arum said he has deal for opponent. I'm told it's Rigondeaux. #boxing
