Vasiliy Lomachenko was absolutely brilliant in methodically breaking down George Kambosos Jr. toward an 11th-round TKO to become the new IBF lightweight world champion Sunday in Perth, Australia.
With the victory, the 36-year-old Loma has several enticing options for his next fight ... and they could all potentially be unifying lightweight world championship bouts.
Here, DAZN lists three possible opponents for the boxing legend.
Gervonta Davis
Lomachenko was in the process of dismantling Kambosos, but "Tank" simply couldn't wait.
While the fight was happening, Davis jumped onto his X social media account and let it be known that he wants a fight with Loma next after first taking care of Frank Martin on June 15.
In addition to matching Davis' electric knockout power and boxing against Lomachenko's technically-sound, level-changing style, the mega fight would also make sense considering it would unify "Tank's" WBA title with Loma's IBF strap, as long as Davis defeats Martin first.
If he does overcome Martin, what a fight the undefeated Davis against Lomachenko would be.
Shakur Stevenson
Stevenson, the WBC lightweight world champion who defends the title against Artem Harutyunyan on July 6, wasn't happy with ESPN sharing Davis' call-out of Lomachenko with Loma during his post-fight interview Sunday.
Stevenson thought it should have been his name brought up instead at that moment. He also accused Top Rank, which promotes him and Loma, of trying to " freeze me out " as stated on his X account.
He warned, too, that "there won’t be another undisputed in this weight class without going through me."
A potential Stevenson vs. Lomachenko clash would arguably decide the best pure boxer in the sweet science today.
Would Lomachenko be able to hand Stevenson his first loss? Or will Stevenson prove to be the better boxer and future of the sport?
And it'd seemingly be simple to make with Top Rank steering both.
Emanuel Navarrete
If you're keeping track of the lightweight hardware, Lomachenko just claimed the IBF title, Davis is the reigning WBA champion and Stevenson holds the WBC belt.
The vacant WBO lightweight championship will be decided May 18 in San Diego where Navarrete will take on Denys Berinchyk.
A win and Navarrete will become a four-division champion — a feat that Loma, a three-weight world champ, hasn't even accomplished.
Like Lomachenko and Stevenson, Navarrete is also promoted by Top Rank, making a potential Loma-Navarrete blockbuster also seemingly easy to make.
Could Navarrete's high punch volume and hard-hitting style be enough to damage Loma's stealth level changes and adroit boxing?
There's only one way to find out.
