Charly Suarez is being discussed as a possible comeback opponent for Vasiliy Lomachenko. BoxingScene’s 27 October report describes a potential February route back at 130 lb, followed by a chance to pursue the division’s undisputed championship.

The proposal would give Foster room to pursue the remaining WBA belt, with the Lomachenko–Suarez winner potentially next in line. It is an account of plans, not a signed schedule.

Lomachenko’s appearance at Foster–Navarrete and his interest in returning are distinct from confirmation of a fight. Our 28 October edition preserves that distinction: the ambition is clear; the contracts and date were not announced.

From our 28 October 2026 briefing; added to the website on 30 October. The text identifies event dates and distinguishes reported plans from confirmed announcements.
