Lopez beat Lomchenko on points in October 2020 to win the WBA, WBO, IBF and Ring Magazine titles, but now the Ukrainian is on a warpath as he sets out to get his belts back.
And his next stop is Commey, who was knocked out by Lopez in the second round of their clash back in December 2019.

Lomachenko said: “It is always special when I fight at Madison Square Garden, where so many great moments in my career have taken place.
“Richard Commey is a former world champion, an opponent I will not underestimate. I expect the best version of Commey, and I will be prepared for whatever he brings on December 11.”
