Terence Crawford and two-time Olympic gold medalist Vasily Lomachenko posed for pictures today at the 38th Annual WBO Convention in Bogot\u00e1, Colombia. Interestingly, the retired 37-year-old Lomachenko (18-3, 12 KOs) looked almost as big as Crawford in terms of bulk.<\/p>\n
The former three-division world champion Lomachenko has packed on some size since his last fight against George Kambosos Jr. on May 12, 2024. Loma looked as good as ever in that fight, dominating Kambosos in an 11th-round knockout victory in Perth, Australia.<\/p>\n
In today\u2019s photo, Lomachenko could pass for 28. He looks well-preserved, like he\u2019s resisting the passage of time.<\/p>\n

Although Lomachenko officially retired on June 5, 2025, it\u2019s quite possible that he could be lured back if he\u2019s offered a fight that motivates him. He\u2019d lost his spark to keep fighting, so he hung up his gloves last summer.<\/p>\n

One could tell that Crawford has lost more from his game due to age and inactivity than Lomachenko.<\/p>\n Turki\u2019s Dream Return Fight?<\/p>\n Lomachenko is still more than young enough to return to the ring if he\u2019s offered the right deal. Turki Alalshikh would do well to bring Loma back for a fight against one of the top fighters, like Naoya Inoue, Rafael Espinoza, Stephen Fulton, or Nick Ball. If Turki wants to bring back a retired fighter, Lomachenko should be a top priority. It would be more interesting to see him in action than to see some of the 40+ year-old fighters.<\/p>\n Crawford dethroned undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo, beating him by a 12-round unanimous decision on September 13, 2025, in Las Vegas. Compared to the performance that Lomachenko put in against Kambosos Jr. in 2024, Crawford\u2019s win wasn\u2019t impressive. He didn\u2019t stay in the pocket and fight Canelo the way Lomachenko did in his fight with George.<\/p>\n Since 2014, Olly Campbell has brought readers clear ringside perspective and a steady voice on boxing\u2019s biggest nights.<\/p>\n Boxing News 24<\/a> \u00bb – An Analyst’s Perspective<\/a> \u00bb Crawford Meets a Transformed Lomachenko \u2014 Fans Say the \u2018Retired\u2019 Loma Looks Ready to Fight Again<\/p>\n Last Updated on 10\/28\/2025 \t<\/p>\n
