Vasiliy Lomachenko is already being eyed up by potential opponents ahead of his return to the ring.

Lomachenko is a former three-weight world champion who has lost only to Teofimo Lopez, Devin Haney and Orlando Salido, who he fought for a world title in his second fight.

His last action was a win over George Kambosos Jr. in May 2024, since when he has been in retirement, but the 38-year-old has recently revealed he is moving towards a new multi-fight deal with his former Top Rank promoter Bob Arum.

It has led to the Ukrainian superstar being linked with a number of opponents in the super-featherweight division, and one man that is set to compete at 130lbs for the first time is willing to take on Lomachenko.

Speaking to The Fight Wire, Nick Ball revealed that he would be open to a clash against Lomachenko, provided that the Liverpudlian can first overcome WBA super featherweight champion Anthony Cacace next month.

Northern Ireland’s Cacace is a two-time super-featherweight champion who has held the WBA title since February 2026, and previously the IBF from 2024 to 2025. He has beaten the likes of Josh Warrington and Leigh Wood, and lifted his latest belt aft victory over Jazza Dickens in March.

The 37-year-old will make the first defence of his world title against Ball at The O2 in Belfast on 19 December, with Ball looking to bounce back after taking his first loss in February when he was stopped in the final round by Brandon Figueroa in their WBA featherweight title bout.
