Pound-for-pound contender Vasyl Lomachenko will defend his WBO super-featherweight world title exclusively live on Box-Nation against Miguel Marriaga on August 5th.

Marriaga will be looking to derail Lomachenko’s future plans by upsetting him next month, in a bout that can only be seen live on ‘The Channel of Champions’ as part of Box-Nation’s exclusive output deal with promoters Top Rank.

“We are delighted to once again showcase the extraordinary talent that is Vasyl Lomachenko,” said Jim McMunn, Box-Nation Managing Director. “He is without doubt one of the best pound-for-pound talents in the world and we are pleased to be able to broadcast his fight with Miguel Marriaga exclusively live in the UK and Ireland on Box-Nation. There are very few fighters in the world with his skill set but in Marriaga he takes on a knockout artist who will not back down. It’s an intriguing world title matchup and one Box-Nation subscribers can look forward to watching exclusively live next month.”

At best a Stay busy opponent coming off a loss at the weight below and already been completely outclassed by Nicholas Walters.

Still well worth watching the next Lomachenko masterclass.

Fine as a ticking-over fight for Lomachenko, should be an easy night's work for him though.

Marriaga fallen on his feet here.

Been beaten comfortably by fighters worse than Loma.

Marriaga's big swinging play right into Lomas hands. Loma will look sensational in this.
