Video: Top boxer Vasyl Lomachenko shows off wrestling: ‘Maybe I’ll go win a belt in the UFC’

Vasyl Lomachenko, who is considered by many as the top pound-for-pound boxer today, is currently trying to get a match up with lightweight champion Jorge Linares. In just 11 professional bouts, he’s already won titles in two divisions and is moving up five more pounds to try and take a third championship.

Lomachenko, who likes to goof around in social media and during training, has routinely joked about making a switch to MMA, mentioning that he has won “many wrestling, judo and sambo tournaments” in the past. He did the same, in his last social media call out of Linares, showing footage of him in the wrestling mat.
