WORDS BEFORE THE FIGHT

Vasyl Lomachenko, former champion in three weight categories:

- I like being an underdog. It's better for me than when a lot of people say, as they used to, that the fight will be a cakewalk for me. When you're an outsider, you can just be yourself. Haney is a smart boxer. He understands boxing and knows what to do in the ring. I know his level, it's not going to be easy, but it's realistic. Now the pressure is on him, not me, which is better. He should be worried about it, not me, because I'm an outsider, I've already had defeats. We have a strategy for the fight and we will try to implement it.

Devin Haney, the absolute world lightweight champion:

- I have a long career ahead of me. Loma is going to retire soon. I'm finishing him off. I'm stopping his career. I'm going to confuse him, and after that, he's not going to be the same. After that, I'm closing the chapter on Lom. I've wanted this fight for a long time. It's finally here. Checkmate, baby. They're trapped. Now it's my turn. We are preparing for the best version of Lomachenko tonight. We're watching his best performances.

As OBOZREVATEL previously reported, Vasyl Lomachenko talked a lot about the war in Ukraine on the eve of his fight with Devin Haney, but carefully avoided mentioning Russian aggression. At first, Vasyl said that only God can stop the war in Ukraine.

Then Lomachenko did not say the word "Ukraine" when he said who he would fight Haney for. And it all ended with Vasyl talking about "big, big problems" in Ukraine instead of talking about the war.
