He shared this news on his Facebook page.
In his characteristic style, Lomachenko expressed gratitude to God, his father and coach, his family, his team, and even the United States. However, he did not mention Ukraine, Ukrainian fans, or the ongoing war.
It is noteworthy that his announcement regarding retirement was made in Russian.
