Paul Malignaggi believes that they want to sacrifice the Ukrainian boxer to the American athlete.
Vasily Lomachenko can be used. Opinion of former world champion Paul Malignaggi. He believes that the Ukrainian was specially given a title fight against George Kambosos.
According to Malignaggi, the Ukrainian will easily become the world champion, after which he will be used in the fight against Shakur Stevenson to raise the star of the American boxer.
“I see this fight as a victory lap. You get a win over Kambosos, you’ll probably look good and then maybe go to a fight where you can hit the jackpot again, or your star could be used to lift a future phenom like that , Shakur Stevenson I know he doesn’t want to fight Shakur Stevenson because he doesn’t want to be in a situation where he’s just playing against a future phenom and where they’re going to use his reputation, so if he chooses this path and says, “Hey, I’m willing to take this risk and I want to test myself!” Who’s going to deny you, right? But I don’t see a long-term plan for Lomachenko. I see Lomachenko winning this fight and then using it to lift to top a star like Shakur Stevenson.
There’s one more wild thing I’ll tell you. Lomachenko is Ukrainian, and there is a war going on there right now. We probably don’t know. My predictions are the same as everyone else’s. We do not know how the war affected his money. What investments are there in it or real estate, or whatever. I don’t know if his finances are distributed in different countries, or if they are only in Ukraine. But if you made all your money and it’s all in Ukraine now, I suppose there’s probably some risk. So I think there may be an additional nuance that you have to create a little protective cushion for yourself, and you have to keep fighting for that reason. It’s just a guess,” said Malignaggi on ProBox TV.
We remind you that the fight between Lomachenko and Kambosos will take place on May 12 in Perth, Australia.
Earlier, Shakur Stevenson predicted how the fight between Lomachenko and Kambosos would end.
