Vasyl Lomachenko Facts

He was just 3 days old when his father, a boxing coach had put a pair of gloves in his hands. Although his father had always wanted him to become a boxer, he would also stress on Vasyl maintaining good grades in school as he felt that any sportsperson could excel only if he/she had undergone a complete cycle of overall development in his/her childhood. His father would also teach him how to fish as well as hunt for pheasants.

Vasyl also used to play soccer and hockey at school and compete in wrestling. He had revealed in an interview that if not for his father’s influence, he would have chosen to play ice hockey professionally. His father would also send him to learn traditional Ukrainian dances and train in gymnastics so that he could improve his footwork and upper body strength.

He has the rare distinction of winning 2 boxing ‘Gold’ medals at the Olympics. As of November 2020, he was one of just 12 boxers to have achieved the feat.

When he won the WBO featherweight title in 2014, it was just his 3rd professional fight. This was a joint world record for winning a world title in the least number of professional fights.
