Vasiliy Lomachenko wants Anthony Cacace's WBA super featherweight title as part of a push to become undisputed at 130 pounds.
Cacace defends against Nick Ball on December 19 in Belfast, a voluntary defense the WBA approved before the end of the year. The winner must then face Elnur Samedov, which means Lomachenko can't count on being next in line even if Cacace gets past Ball.
A tune-up at 130 could work in his favor. It would show how he looks at the lower weight after a long layoff and give his team time to see who holds the belt.
