Vasyl Lomachenko on course for world title shot in second pro fight

Lomachenko, 25, has been rumored to favor a swift world title attempt.

His opportunity could occur on the back of his impressive debut in the paid ranks against Jose Ramirez last month. Salido has seemingly been sounded out for the challenge.

After amassing one of the greatest records of all-time whilst wearing a head guard, Top Rank officials obviously see no point in Lomachenko taking his time.

An unprecedented chance is now in negotiations.

If the fight is made and Lomachenko prevails, the Ukrainian will break the record currently held by the late Saensak Muangsurin.

The Thai southpaw won the WBC light-welterweight title in his third fight in 1975.

According to Moretti, discussions are ongoing.

It’s too early for dates and venues. Both camps attempt to broker a deal that suits both for what will be an intriguing contest for the achievement alone.

Veteran Salido regained the 126lb title with victory over Orlando Cruz.

On the same night, Lomachenko fought his solitary outing as a professional. The seasoned 33-year-old having fought 55 times in the paid ranks.
