Vasiliy Lomachenko returns against Jamaine Ortiz

Vasiliy Lomachenko will return to action on October 29 when he boxes Jamaine Ortiz at Madison Square Garden.

It will be the first time Lomachenko has boxed since December.

"I want to dedicate this fight to all my Ukrainian people. I wear the flag proudly every time I step in the ring," Lomachenko said to SkySports.

"I love my sport, and I am so glad to be back. My goal is to win the undisputed lightweight title, but I will not take Jamaine Ortiz lightly. Madison Square Garden and Hulu Theater at MSG have been special places in my career, and I look forward to making more great memories on October 29."
