“We never know what will happen. We can prepare for one strategy, but everything can change in the ring. Right now, I don't know what will happen in combat. I just train hard and prepare. I believe in God and in my team,” said Vasily Lomachenko.
“When he had belts, he didn’t want to fight me. But this is a fight in which I sincerely believe that I am better than him. I am the best boxer. I will emerge victorious. I am happy that my time has finally come,” said Devin Haney.
“For me, this is a historic fight. At one time, Loma was No. 1 in my weight class. A few months ago, he was higher than me on the P4P list. Now, when our fight was outlined, he dropped out of the list of the best. But what is, is. We know what kind of fighter he is. He deserves to be on the list of the best. Not taller than me, but definitely on the list. But this is a battle for legacy. This is a real fight. This is not a duel of bloggers. This is really a fight for the belts. For all the gold in the world. Perhaps this will also make it possible to determine the best in the world. The better the opposition, the better I am. Loma is a good fighter. But I'm on a completely different level. On the day of the battle the world will see it. The world will see how good Devin Haney really is,” said the undisputed lightweight champion.
