Ukrainian boxer Vasily Lomachenko, after defeating Ghanaian Richard Commee by unanimous decision, went to the ceremony to announce the winner without the Ukrainian flag, although usually boxers come out with the flag of their native country.
Vasily chose to go out with the red and yellow flag of his hometown of Ackerman (Belgorod-Dnestrovsky).
This is not the first time Lomachenko has chosen his hometown flag. In June, after defeating the Japanese Masoyoshi Nakatani, Lomachenko also turned into the flag of his city.
For this choice he was criticized in the Ukrainian segment of social networks. Now under the post on the Top Rank promotion page, where Lomachenko with the belt of the WBO intercontinental champion and the flag of his city, many users, including foreign ones, are wondering what kind of flag it is, a boxer has thrown over his shoulders.
Fight against the messenger. Richard Commey took place in New York at the legendary Madison Square Garden arena. The fight lasted all 12 rounds and ended with the victory of the Ukrainian by unanimous decision 117: 110, 119: 108, 119: 108.
