Finally, the moment all boxing fans were waiting for is here. We’ll get to watch a real fight between two real boxers, not between a YouTuber and a former NBA player or a retired fighter and an MMA star. Vasyl Lomachenko and Masayoshi Nakatani will take the ring on June 26, at 10:00 pm (ET) at the Virgin Hotel in Las Vegas.

Vasyl Lomachenko is thirsty for revenge and looking to get back to the top of the world after being dethroned by Teófilo López. Now, he’ll face a beatable adversary but he should be wary of being overconfident.

Masayoshi Nakatani has only lost once in his career – notably, against the very same opponent as Lomachenko, and he’ll try to reach his 20th victory and shock the world by taking down one of the most complete fighters of his generation.

Vasyl Lomachenko vs Masayoshi Nakatani: Storylines

The biggest issue ahead of this fight will be Vasyl Lomachenko’s health. If his lingering shoulders issues show up again, then a dangerous fighter like Masayoshi Nakatani can definitely take him down, especially given his size and reach.

Then again, assuming he’s healthy, we predict that Lomachenko should have no trouble getting past the Japanese rising star. While not in his prime physically anymore, he’s still smarter, and just more dominant.
