If just under nine weeks wasn't a quick enough turnaround for Richard Commey to defend his newly won IBF lightweight world title, add a potential hand injury into the mix and a WBO, WBA and IBF unification bout against top-five pound-for-pound Vasyl Lomachenko seems in jeopardy. Meaning, if Commey has to nurse any hand injury, that could sideline him for at least two weeks, maybe even more, giving him ample time for training camp, improbable. Leaving only Mikey Garcia's WBC belt left from a true lightweight unification, in which Lomachenko seems to be after. The April 12 bout between Lomachenko and Commey was ambitious to say the least. Whether or not Commey faces Lomachenko remains to be seen.
