Olympic star, 3-time pro champion Vasiliy Lomachenko announces retirement from boxing
Vasiliy Lomachenko has announced his retirement from boxing after a decorated career that included two Olympic gold medals and professional world titles in three weight classes. Lomachenko announced his decision with a video on social media Thursday. 'I am grateful for every victory and every defeat, both in the ring and in life,' Lomachenko said. 'I'm thankful that as my career comes to an end, I've gained clarity about the direction a person must take in order to achieve true victory.' The Ukrainian star burst onto the international boxing scene at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, when the 20-year-old prospect steamrolled the competition. He showed off athleticism, footwork and ring intelligence far beyond his years, clearly marking himself as a once-in-a-generation talent. But he eschewed the professional sport and returned to win gold at the London Games four years later alongside Oleksandr Usyk, his close friend and the future undisputed professional world heavyweight champion. After going 396-1 as an amateur, Lomachenko finally embarked on a pro career largely spent in the U.S. Lomachenko won the WBO featherweight title in his third professional fight in June 2014, beating Gary Russell Jr. after ordering his promoters to get him a near-immediate title shot after turning pro. He won the junior lightweight belt in 2016 by stopping Román Martínez, and he added the WBA lightweight world title in 2018, stopping Jorge Linares. Lomachenko finished his pro career 18-3 with 12 stoppage victories, incurring late-career decision losses to Teofimo Lopez and Devin Haney. 'It's been an honor for all of us at Top Rank to promote the pro boxing career of Vasiliy Lomachenko,' said Bob Arum, Lomachenko's U.S. promoter. 'He was a generational champion, and we will all miss his participation in the sport.' Lomachenko paused his career for several months after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and he has fought only three times since 2021. He stopped George Kambosos Jr. in the 11th round of his final bout in May 2024. ___ AP boxing:

Palhinha opens door to move away from Bayern
Things haven't gone according to plan for João Palhinha since his €51 million move from Fulham to Bayern Munich a year ago. The Portugal international has struggled to secure a regular starting spot, and speculation over his future has been swirling for months. Advertisement Until now, the 29-year-old defensive midfielder has consistently dismissed talk of a move away. But following Portugal's 2–1 UEFA Nations League win over Germany on Wednesday (via Bild), Palhinha seemed less certain about his long-term future in Munich. 'We'll see. I've said it a few times: I still have three years left on my contract. I want to play for this club. But I need to talk with the coach and the sporting management to see if I'll be getting my chances here. I really hope so, but if not, we'll have to see and find the best solution,' he said. 'Football is about the present. And in this present moment, I'm ready to give everything to achieve great things. Advertisement "Let's see. There's no reason to be disappointed. I've already won a title with Bayern, and I hope it's the first of many. We'll have those discussions and make the best decision - also for me. I will always fight, and I'm ready, wherever my future lies.' Palhinha's contract runs until 2028.
