Taking to Twitter, Lomachenko recently called out fellow professional boxer Jorge Linares. However, Lomachenko also suggested he may try his hand in the world’s most famous mixed martial arts promotion instead. The Olympic gold medalist stated:

“You ready to fight me at 135 @JorgeLinares ? If not, maybe I’ll go win a belt in the UFC first while waiting on you.”

UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw has since responded to the social media message. Dillashaw is ready for the action.

“Come to the Octagon and let’s do this. Hit up @danawhite @seanshelby”

Vasyl Lomachenko is a former WBO featherweight champion, having earned the accolade in only his third professional boxing match.
