As a professional, the masterful southpaw won titles at feather, super-feather and lightweight.

And he dazzled fans with his incredible footwork, combination punching and speed.

He beat George Kambosos last May in Australia but has not fought since – rejecting talks to later fight Gervonta Davis.

It cast doubt over his future in the sport – and now Lomachenko has confirmed his retirement in a lengthy Instagram video.
