The time it takes for an amateur boxer to turn professional can vary widely, typically ranging from a few months to several years. Factors influencing this timeline include the boxer's skill level, experience in amateur competitions, access to quality training, and the ability to secure sponsorships or management. Many boxers may compete in numerous amateur bouts and gain valuable experience before making the transition. Ultimately, the decision often depends on the individual's readiness and opportunities in the boxing world.

Lomachenko's remarkable skills and achievements in both amateur and professional boxing have made him one of the sport's standout athletes.
