Lomachenko adds WBC title in thriller with Campbell

Vasyl Lomachenko, widely regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, beat British challenger Luke Campbell in a thrilling bout to win the vacant WBC lightweight title in London.

The 31-year-old Ukrainian, who had been world champion at three different weights in only a 14-bout professional career prior to the fight, won by a unanimous decision on Saturday to add the WBC belt to his WBA and WBO titles in the weight.

Lomachenko's target is to have all four major belts with Ghana's Richard Commey holding the IBF version.

Lomachenko, whose record reads 14 wins and one defeat, acknowledged the toughness of the bout.

"Of course I'm happy," he told Sky Sports.

"I want to thank everyone who came to support this beautiful fight and of course I'm happy this is my title."
"With the support I have had here I can go on and achieve anything. My time will come."
