Vasiliy Lomachenko has become the World Boxing’s Franchise Champion.

The announcement was made at the WBC’s 57th annual Convention, at the Grand Oasis Hotel in Cancun.

An Olympic Gold Medal, a world champion in only his second pro fight. Now world crowns in three weight divisions, the southpaw genius dazzles with his speed, precision and sheer brilliance.

He specifically requested to fight for the vacant WBC lightweight belt and won it in great style.

In accepting this  superstar accolade Vasiliy said in excellent English,  that it’d been his childhood dream to win a Green and Gold WBC Belt and now it’s come true.  He also said he’ll always try to prove himself worthy of this honor and this confidence.
