Vasily LOMACHENKO: “It is always an honor for me to represent my country”

Former world champion in three weight divisions Vasily Lomachenko (16-2, 11 KOs) He said it’s always been an honor for him to play for Ukraine.

“You were born in this country, you grew up with it. Our country has given you the opportunity to become an athlete that represents it. Of course, this is very important for me, for all our athletes. You must represent your country. Of course, it’s always an honor for me.

On the first day of the war, you can’t believe it, you can’t take it seriously. But on the second, third day you realize the truth and you realize that this is a real war and a big problem for people.

I stayed in Ukraine because I felt responsible for my family, my country and the people around me. I went to the army, bought a military uniform, a gun, and stayed to defend our country,” Lomachenko said in the documentary Battle Lines: Lomachenko.

On October 29, Vasily will fight against Jemaine Ortiz.

TYSON FURY: “Usyk will give up his champion title and there is a reason for that”

Former world heavyweight champion, British Tyson Rage I am sure that WBC champion Oleksandr Usyk will leave his belt vacant due to the lack of interesting opponents:

“Usyk will not fight opponents ranked in the WBC because it is impossible to make good money from these fights. How much money will he make by fighting Agit Kabayel or Lawrence Okolie?”

Frankly, these are insufficient. After making a ton of money fighting Tyson Fury, you don’t want to go back to fights that have no financial benefit.

Usik will therefore give up his WBC title and Agit Kabayel will become the full world champion. He will be able to defend against (German boxer) Okolie or Moses Itauma,” Fury said on the DAZN platform.

Kabayel’s next opponent will be Poland’s undefeated representative Damian Knyba. The fight for the WBC interim title will take place in Germany on January 10.
