The fight was set for January 25, 2014 at the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City on a live double-header on HBO Boxing After Dark, with Bryant Jennings vs. Artur Szpilka as co-main event. A lot of boos followed the confirmation of the fight result as Walters seemed to back himself up for not returning for round 7, blaming his inactivity in the ring, "Listen to me, if I get the chance to fight two or three fights leading up to this fight, I'll definitely take him on in different circumstances where we are more active and definitely beat him but it was all him tonight... he fought me with three fights this year. The summit consisted of speeches about preventing brain damage and research to aid already suffering victims.[102]. [47][48] Lomachenko had a $750,000 purse for the defence. He's unbelievable. According to early reports, the fight was likely to take place at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. [81] The fight was officially confirmed on 15 September.

For the fight, Lomachenko was guaranteed a purse of $1.2 million whereas Rigondeaux earned a $400,000 purse.

He stated if the bout with Rigondeaux was made, it would likely take place at the Madison Square Garden Theatre and a potential rematch with Salido would take place in Los Angeles.
Top Rank vice president Carl Moretti told ESPN.com.
It was Tom & Jerry – I had to catch the mouse. His ability to make Salido miss, and make him pay, will prove decisive. He is a three-weight world champion, having held the unified WBA (Super), WBO and Ring magazine lightweight titles since 2018; previously he held the WBO featherweight title from 2014 to 2015, and the WBO junior-lightweight title from 2016 to 2017.

"[60], Both fighters earned a $1 million purse for the fight. Lomachenko wore Linares down with his fast shots through the first 9 rounds, before finishing the fight in round 10. He followed up with a few more shots to the body. He's a true warrior. After the fight, Lomachenko called out Orlando Salido, "Hey Salido, I'm ready to fight you at any time, before the Vargas fight, I told him to win the fight but I never told him I wasn't going to fight him if he didn't, so let's do it. That type of style is much more suited for facing a fellow brawler. The agreement was reached after ESPN agreed to televise the fight at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, so it would broadcast before HBO's telecast on the same day. I want to revenge Salido for my fans and give them a win over him. I did miss [boxing], but the time off helped me regain that fire." [115][116] Pedraza (25-2, 12 KOs) defeated Beltran via unanimous decision, winning the WBO title and setting up a fight with Lomachenko. Garcia also re-iterated his desire to fight IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. by the end of 2018. A fight between Lomachenko and Rigondeaux would take place at 130 pounds.

Lomachenko made his professional debut in United States on 12 October 2013 as part of the undercard to Timothy Bradley vs. Juan Manuel Márquez, defeating Mexican fighter José Ramirez with a fourth-round knockout. De La Hoya also congratulated Arum on the fight and told Arum it was good experience working together. Despite being a heavy underdog, Campbell started well and took the first round.

[15] Months later he beat Juan Carlos Martinez in under four rounds at the Madison Square Garden in New York City. Lomachenko made his professional debut in 2013. Vasyl Lomachenko will need to weather an early storm and be prepared to fight 12 hard rounds if he hopes to lift the WBO Featherweight Championship from Orlando Salido. He said, "I have more options, in fact [...] the guaranteed purse is better[...] just as Golden Boy is looking to do what's best for their company, I am also looking to do what's best for me. [19] Garcia failed to make 126 lb weight limit coming in two pounds overweight. I just couldn't find the timing and I just couldn't let my right hand go."
