Winning a title is impressive, but keeping it is what truly makes a fighter a champion. The WBA and WBO lightweight champion of boxing, Vasyl Lomachenko, will defend both his belt and his reputation on Friday. As the world’s best pound-for-pound fighter, Lomachenko will take on his toughest opponent yet in Anthony “Million Dolla” Crolla, a seasoned veteran and former WBA title-holder himself. There can be no better test of a fighter’s resolve to keep his titles than an opponent who desperately wants one of them back after losing it.
