British Boxer Names Lomachenko the Best Amateur in History

British boxer Anthony Fowler revealed whom he considers the greatest amateur boxer of all time.

“The best amateur of all time is Vasyl Lomachenko. It’s a shame his professional career wasn’t as brilliant, but he still beat Haney,” Fowler wrote.

Lomachenko (18-3, 12 KOs) last fought in 2024, when he stopped George Kambosos to claim the IBF lightweight title. Later, Vasyl announced his retirement from the sport.

In the amateurs, Lomachenko became a two-time Olympic champion — in Beijing 2008 and London 2012 — and also won all six bouts in the semi-professional World Series of Boxing.
