Lomachenko: After Pedraza fight many doors will be open

WBA lightweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko said that he had not yet watched the fights of his next opponent, José Pedraza. Lomachenko will meet Pedraza on December 8 in New York. “This will be my first unification bout, and I cannot wait for it. After the fight with Pedraza, many doors will be open.”

“Will I knock him out? I do not know, this is boxing. Now I cannot say anything about his style. I don't have time to watch his fights. In a few weeks we will sit down with the team and study him.

“I like to take challenges, I like real warriors and top fighters, so I am open to all worthwhile options. I rested for a very long. I think I still need to refresh my own style, remember the battle feelings, prepare morally after a long break,” said Lomachenko.
