Vasiliy Lomachenko, a Ukrainian pugilist born in 1988, has earned the nickname "The Matrix" for his exceptional skills in the squared circle. He has conquered multiple weight classes, featherweight, super featherweight, and lightweight, claiming not only world titles but also unified and lineal championships at lightweight. Lomachenko currently maintains a record of 17 wins and 3 losses in 20 fights (17-3-0).

Lomachenko's dominance began even before turning professional. As an amateur, he amassed an astonishing record, with a near-perfect win rate and only one defeat, which he avenged decisively. He secured a silver medal at the World Championships, a gold at the European Championships, and back-to-back gold medals at the Olympics. His lightning-fast punches, impeccable timing, incredible accuracy, and unmatched speed in the ring made him a standout in the featherweight and lightweight divisions.

In 2013, Lomachenko turned professional and quickly rose to the top, capturing the WBO featherweight title in a mere three fights. His meteoric rise garnered him multiple accolades, including "Prospect of the Year" and "Boxer of the Year" from prestigious publications, and "Fighter of the Year" from esteemed boxing organizations. As of May 2024, he remains a top contender, ranking highly in both the pound-for-pound and lightweight divisions.
