    "Vasyl" is how Loma's name is pronounced in the Ukrainian language. It's also what officially is in all his IDs.
    But for Lomachenko personally Russian is the native language, and in Russian his name is pronounced as "Vasiliy".
    So both can be used, I think.

    Lots of variations are used interchangeably. For example, Loma's Instagram is @lomachenkovasiliy

    Василь Ломаченко there’s the proper spelling of his name lol.
    So in English, Vasyl is the correct version as Vasiliy would be Васи́лий which is the same name, essentially, just Russian version of it.
