WBA (Super), WBO, and The Ring lightweight champion Vasiliy Lomachenko has been through several battles to reach the top position in boxing. Going against some of the best boxers of this era, Loma is 14-1 in his professional run and is already a global superstar.

However, his upcoming fight against Teofimo Lopez might be the toughest challenge in his career. Lopez (15-0) is the IBF lightweight champion, and when he faces Vasiliy Lomachenko on October 17, all four world titles will be on the line.

That said, none of the champions will want to lose their belts, especially when it is such an electrifying contest. While Lopez will bring a lot of new challenges into the mix for ‘Loma,’ the Ukrainian boxer is training hard to prepare for every adversary. From training his eyesight to retaining the discipline, Lomachenko is ready to go to war.

Vasiliy Lomachenko knows how to prepare himself for a long night

Top Rank Boxing recently posted a video on their official social media handle. It showcases how Lomachenko is preparing himself and what his teammates have to say about it.

Teofimo Lopez has got some fast hands. Thus, Lomachenko might have to switch stances and pace himself throughout the fight. In the latest video, Lomachenko is training his eye muscles to improve accuracy.

Noting his hard work, Lomachenko’s manager said, “Loma, mentally is very strong, you have to be mentally strong to do that stuff.”

While the high-voltage lightweight thriller is just a week away, it’s all about discipline for the WBA and WBO champion. Through blood, sweat, and tears, Lomachenko is confident about defending his title and adding another one to his inventory by vanquishing Lopez in the coming weekend.
