Better for Loma: Manager Picks Between Gervonta and Shakur

Egis Klimas, manager of IBF and IBO lightweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko, has made his stance clear on who would be the best opponent for his fighter in the lightweight division right now.

"Skills and finances—Gervonta is a much better fight, in my opinion. I have nothing bad to say about Shakur—he’s a very skilled boxer. But he fights defensively, moves away from opponents, runs.

Tank comes to fight. It’s a more exciting matchup. A much more intriguing fight. Yes, it’s more dangerous, but that’s what makes it even more interesting. Right now, the best opponent for Lomachenko is Tank," Klimas stated.

Previously, Klimas confirmed that Lomachenko is undergoing treatment for a back injury, with a decision on his future to be made later.
