Future Hall of Famer and two-time Olympic gold medalist Lomachenko suffered a massive defeat at the hands of Teofimo Lopez last October. In addition to losing his WBA, WBO and The Ring lightweight titles by unanimous decision, he also had to undergo shoulder surgery after the fight. Lomachenko has made a full recovery and now the 33-year-old plans to try and win back all three of his lost titles.
Lomachenko will certainly have his work cut out for him tonight when he goes up against 32-year-old Nakatani who has both a big height and reach advantage over him. During his last fight back in December, Nakatani defeated Felix Verdejo by total knockout in the ninth round to win the vacant WBO Inter-Continental lightweight title. Before that, he went toe to toe with Lopez for a full 12 rounds back in 2019 though he did end up losing the match by unanimous decision.
In the co-main event, former middleweight title holder Rob Brant will face off against Janibek Alimkhanuly in a ten-round middleweight bout. Brant won his title back in 2018 when he defeated Ryota Murata by unanimous decision and he defended it once before losing it to Murata during a rematch in 2019. Alimkhanuly meanwhile has won his last three fights by knockout.
