Vice-President of the National League of professional boxing of Ukraine Alina Shaternikova shared expectations from the upcoming fight between Vasyl Lomachenko and George Kambososos.
"We'll see how the fight will go. But it will definitely not be a "one-gate" fight, it will be a great fight, and, in my opinion, there is intrigue. The confrontation itself is very interesting for me. In the percentage ratio will not give a prediction, but I have no other opinion, I root exclusively for Lomachenko and hope for his victory," - said Shaternikova.
Recall that Lomachenko and Kambososos will fight on May 12 in the main event of the boxing show in Perth, Australia. At stake will be the vacant IBF belt in the lightweight category.
Former absolute world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis predicts that Tyson Fury will defeat Oleksandr Usyk in a fight for all heavyweight titles.
"I believe Tyson Fury has great characteristics: he's tall, can box on both feet, fights as a lefty and righty, can go forward. At this point, in my opinion, it's hard to beat a bigger fighter. That's why I always say the bigger guy has the advantage.
I think Tyson Fury will win on points. But I don't discount Oleksandr Usyk," Lewis said in an interview with YouTube channel talkSPORT Boxing.
Recall that the fight Usik vs. Fury will be held on May 18 in Saudi Arabia.
Former world boxing champion, now commentator and expert Paul Malignaggi believes that George Kambososos will lose without a chance to Vasyl Lomachenko in the upcoming fight for the vacant IBF lightweight title.
"I believe that Kambososos will probably win a round by a stretch or not win a round at all in this fight. As far as I'm concerned, Kambososos should end his career after this fight. He was able to support himself financially. Respect to him for being able to squeeze out a win against Lopez," Malignaggi told ProBoxTV.
Recall that Lomachenko and Cambosos will fight on May 12 in Perth, Australia.
Former world champion in three weight categories Vasyl Lomachenko admitted that the defeat from Teofimo Lopez helped him come to God.
"After the defeat from Teofimo Lopez then it seemed that I lost, but actually at that moment I won. At that moment I recognized god. That basically changed my whole life.
My goal now is not to be a champion. My goal is to become a better person, to be an absolute champion in life. Right now I'm very happy because I started to realize a lot of things that I didn't realize before the defeat. And speaking of defeats, I don't lose. I win when I lose," - said Lomachenko.
Recall that in 2020 Lomachenko lost to Lopez by unanimous decision of judges in a fight for the title of absolute world champion in lightweight.
Ukrainian super-heavyweight prospect Vladyslav Sirenko said whether his attitude to his famous compatriot Vasyl Lomachenko has changed in connection with his silence about the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia.
- Of course it has changed. Because when a person is silent, you do not know how he feels about it, and he, as a media person who is a leader of opinions of many Ukrainians, should be one of the first to express his position on the war in his homeland.
But he has not done that, unfortunately. Therefore, many people may have a lot of unnecessary opinions, including me. I have a negative attitude towards this moment.
- What would you say to him when you met him?
- Nothing. I wouldn't talk to him, I guess. That's all.
- Will Ukrainians forgive Lomachenko for this silence and will they cheer for the boxer in the fight with Kambososos?
- It is very difficult to answer specifically for all Ukrainians, but I think that some will forgive, and some will not. Here is a very abstract question. Personally for me, since he still represents Ukraine, I would like it to have a positive impact for our country. Of course, I would support Lomachenko. However, I don't watch his fights after I stopped understanding his position on the war in Ukraine.
Former world champion in three weight categories Vasyl Lomachenko said that with age potential opponents became less afraid of him.
Famous Ukrainian boxing veteran Taras Shelestyuk, following Oleksandr Hvozdyk, condemned former world champion in three weight categories compatriot Vasyl Lomachenko, who never made a single coherent statement regarding the criminal invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation.
"I am doing my best, although I have much less influence than Lomachenko. I don't know why Vasyl doesn't want to support Ukraine more actively. It's hard to understand him.
I think he's been brainwashed. Lomachenko should study the history of Ukraine. It seems to me that since he has been boxing since he was a kid, he hasn't studied. It's easy to manipulate people who have no knowledge of history. The Russian church seems to be doing that to him. I think he needs to study the history of Ukraine, and then he will understand what is happening and why Ukraine is an independent and separate country from Russia," The Sunday Long Read quotes Shelestyuk as saying.
Recall that on May 12 in Perth, Australia, Lomachenko will fight for the vacant IBF lightweight title with George Kambososos.
Former world light heavyweight champion Ukrainian Oleksandr Gvozdyk spoke out about the lack of civic position of prominent compatriot Vasyl Lomachenko.
"If someone is trying to make Lomachenko look like a Ukrainian hero, tell them, let them talk to Ukrainian coaches and fighters. They will give you a completely opposite opinion. Top Rank is probably trying to make it look like Lomachenko is supporting his country.
Today we have this bastard [Putin] who is killing and trying to destroy my country. After this war started, there is more bombing going on. People are under the rubble. People are bleeding, with limbs torn off. I don't support that. Because of this, many people do not like him anymore," - quotes Gvozdik The Sunday Long Read.
