WBA and WBO lightweight world champion Vasily Lomachenko (12-1, 9 KOs) declared that he wanted to fight the best, but had to go into the ring against mandatory challenger Anthony Crolla (34-6-3, 13 KOs):
“Mikey will fight against Spence. Why are you asking me about him? Of course, I want to fight the best, but now Crolla is the best choice. I would first fight against Garcia, and then break through Davis.”
Lomachenko vs Crolla fight is scheduled for April 12 in Los Angeles.
