The legendary American boxer believes that the Ukrainian athlete was robbed of the title fight.
Vasily Lomachenko was robbed of his fight for the absolute world champion title against Devin Haney. This is what former legendary American boxer Bernard Hopkins said.
According to him, the Ukrainian became a victim of corruption in sports, because the victory was given to the one who needed it, Haney.
“I’ll give you a recent example of corruption – Lomachenko vs. Haney. The main thing is who wants to win and get to the next level. You don’t have to be a Harvard graduate to understand this. It’s just in front .of your face.
People say it’s boxing. But what do you mean? You have reporters who have spent as much time in this business as promoters. These accreditations are hanging around their necks, and they are selling their souls!
There’s still this question in boxing: is everyone cheating? Is boxing controlled by the world of the powerful, who gets the most money out of it?” Hopkins was quoted as saying by boxing-social.com.
We remind you that the next opponent of Vasily Lomachenko was identified earlier.
