Vasyl Lomachenko, former world champion in three weight categories:
– I have been in this sport for a long time. We are two professionals, we know boxing. We know the strategy of boxing. And it will be very interesting for both of us, as well as for all the fans. Good luck to both of us. A battle awaits us, for which we have prepared very diligently. And as I said, it will be very interesting. Right now I’m just looking at the IBF title that I have to win. And after the fight I can think about the future.
George Kambosos, former absolute champion of the world in lightweight:
– You can never underestimate a guy like Lomachenko. And I’d be a complete idiot if I did. Lomachenko is one of the greatest, and I have a lot of respect for this guy. So we are preparing for a better version of Lomachenko. But as soon as the starting gong sounds, there will be no trace of that respect. It will be time to get to work.
