Larry Holmes worked for Muhammad Ali in the 1970s and 1980s. Mike Williams worked with Mike Tyson in 1980 and Mike's rival Mike WIlliams in 1990s, but he never reached his potential.

In June 2021, Lmachenkova dominated Masaysashi Nakatani via 9-round TKO. L macenov returned to Ukraine to show solidarity against Russian forces. Now he's training for his fight with Jamaine Ortiz.

Vasiliy Lomachenko is still a very good fighter despite his recent shoulder injury. Jamaine Ortiz is eight years younger and has more experience and skills. Loma is older and taller, but he has a few more years of experience. The winner will be decided on the scorecards.

Vasiliy Lomachenko is expected to win by unanimous decision over Jamaine Ortiz.
