WBO super featherweight champion Vasily Lomachenko in one of his last interviews spoke about his attitude to the World Boxing Super Series tournament, and also shared his plans for the future and the desired rivals.
"It was a successful year for me. I cannot say which battle was the most difficult in the outgoing year. But psychologically and emotionally it must have been a fight with Guillermo Rigondeaux. I cannot yet say who will be my next rival, since I myself do not know the answer to this question," Lomachenko said.
- Yesterday, the head of the World Boxing Super Series said that next year the WBSS falls into lightweight weights. How interesting is this tournament for you, will you participate in it?
- It is not yet known what weights the WBSS falls into. If it's my weight, of course, it will be interesting for me, because it is a possibility to collect all the belts in one swoop - this is what I want, what I strive for for many years.
- Please, rate this 2017 year for you...
- For me, the year went well, because I had, in principle, successful fights, and I won all three of them. I'm ready to fight anyone, anytime and anywhere. Let's see if we can organize fights in my weight category, in which I am now, if no then I will have to rise higher.
- Recently it became known that Salido changed his mind about completing his career. He is the only boxer who defeated you on a professional ring. Would you like to take revenge on him?
- No. I'm tired of running after him and begging. I asked to do this only for the sake of those who ask this question, because they are most worried about this defeat. I do not think about it now. I am now at the place where I would like to be, so today, it is more profitable for him not me. I'm not interested in this fight today.
