Mexican coach Abel S\u00e1nchez has spoken out against Vasyl Lomachenko\u2019s return to the ring. The coach stated that if he were working with the former three-division world champion, he would dissuade him from resuming his career.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t like that he\u2019s coming back at age 38 after a two-year hiatus. It\u2019s like Crawford\u2019s comeback. What else is there to achieve besides the title of undisputed champion? He already has an incredible career and a wonderful legacy. That\u2019s exactly why I doubt the wisdom of his return. Although I do understand why he wants to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sanchez believes that Lomachenko should consider all the \u201cpitfalls and downsides\u201d of his return.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d try to talk him out of it. Of course, I\u2019d support whatever decision he makes, but I\u2019d do everything possible to point out all the pitfalls and downsides of such a move. Undoubtedly, there are quite a few positive aspects to this. But we\u2019re not talking about him fighting for the undisputed championship at age 38. By then, he\u2019ll already be 40,\u201d the Fight Hub TV<\/a> coach said.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, Lomachenko has agreed<\/a> to a fight with the world champion; the bout is scheduled for 2027.<\/p>\n

Prior to this, Usyk confirmed<\/a> that Lomachenko is preparing to return to the ring.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian champion Oleksandr Usyk has<\/a> likely already decided<\/a> on his final opponent in his professional career.<\/p>\n
