However, it seems that the 26-year-old is prepared to return to the ring once again.

Vasyl Lomachenko recently shared his plans about making a comeback next year. After his loss against Devin Haney earlier this year, Loma is not looking for a tune-up fight to make his return. As the news of his potential return surfaced, ‘Sugar’ was quick to subtly call out the Ukrainian for a fight. So what did the new WBC lightweight champion have to say to the much-experienced fighter?

Klimas also revealed that Loma desires a title fight, a point that Stevenson addressed as he took to social media. Stevenson shared the social media post discussing Loma’s plans and simply stated, “I got a belt lol.” It appears that even though he previously failed to make the fight against Lomachenko, Stevenson hasn’t given up his desired fight.
