Shock in Boxing World: Former PFP No.1 Vasiliy Lomachenko, 38, Makes Sensational Comeback After One Year of Retirement

Posted on: 05/13/2026

The boxing world is stunned by a shocking report from the United States: Vasiliy Lomachenko, the former pound-for-pound king and three-division world champion from Ukraine, is planning a dramatic return to the ring at age 38, just one year after announcing his retirement.

Lomachenko, widely regarded as one of the most technically gifted boxers of his generation, stepped away from the sport in 2024 following a decision loss to George Kambosos Jr. However, according to multiple US outlets, the Ukrainian star has been quietly training and is now ready to make a comeback.

Known for his incredible footwork, speed, and ring IQ, Lomachenko held the WBA, WBO, and The Ring lightweight titles and reigned as the No.1 pound-for-pound fighter in 2021. His return would shake up the lightweight and light-welterweight divisions, with potential opponents including Devin Haney, Gervonta Davis, or Shakur Stevenson.
