Lomachenko was advised to change his citizenship - what is known.

The President of the Ukrainian Boxing Association on Ukrainian ring stars

The President of the Ukrainian Boxing Association and former world champion Andriy Kotelnik shared his thoughts on Ukrainian boxers and tried to identify the main representative of the independence era.

According to him, it is important to evaluate not only achievements but also unique qualities, reports 'Sport-Express in Ukraine'.

According to Andriy Kotelnik, the best boxer in Ukrainian history is Vasyl Lomachenko, whom he noted for his intelligence, technique, and dominance in the ring. At the same Time, he pointed out that in terms of results, Oleksandr Usyk has certain advantages, particularly due to his status as the absolute world champion.

What prevented Lomachenko from realizing his potential

Andriy paid special attention to the influence of the Klitschko brothers, who held the top spot in the heavyweight division for many years. He believes it is difficult to compare these two boxers since they became symbols of their era.

Regarding Lomachenko's career, Kotelnik is convinced that it was not fully realized due to political and national circumstances. According to him, had Lomachenko been American, he would likely have become even more recognizable.

'But the person has no motivation left. Also, do not forget that he is 37 years old, and this is not a heavy category, but a lightweight. Lomachenko has nothing to complain about. He became a champion in three weight categories, defended the title of absolute champion, but fate did not favor him,' - Kotelnik said.

Interestingly, it is now known where former footballer Andriy Voronin has disappeared to, who previously played for the Ukraine national team and Kyiv's 'Dynamo'.

It is also worth noting that before the rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois, their chances of winning are approximately equal, so this promises to be an exciting fight in the ring. The boxing world is always interesting and unpredictable!
