Captain Obvious: neither fight is "done" until the contracts are signed.

"Per Ukrainian law, every healthy male between the ages of 18 and 60 are not allowed to leave the country and are required to participate in the country’s wartime effort."

If there is a willingness, there is a way too.
Look at ukrainian amateurs - the were allowed to leave the country to participate at IBA U22 tournament.

IMAO if Arum can do his part of job - get the deal done with Dibella, Loma will do his part of job - leave Ukraine, train and fight against Kambosos.

Boring Bumchenko getting KO’d this time

I admire Loma for volunteering to fight for his country. That said, it would be a horrible look for him to leave now while the fighting is still very heavy and flee because he wants to fight for a boxing title - especially when Usyk is still putting his career on hold to risk his life and defend his country. How could he possibly justify that? I’m sure there are countless Ukrainians who love to go back to their professions, but they understand there is something bigger than that at play now.

Is this even a legit article? Yesterday they were trying to get Loma out of Ukraine for the fight and there's no new Fighthub TV interview with Arum on YouTube. I think we have still have to wait to see how this plays out

Hi fellow readers. Do you really think that deal was done?

Even if there was a way for Loma to leave, should he even fight with this going on? It could affect him mentally and if Kambosos win, there will be people who won't give him full credit.

NO, Kambosos should fight someone else while Loma stays in Ukraine and fight for the honor of his country.
