Vasily Lomachenko’s former opponent was amazed by the performance of the absolute super heavyweight champion.
Oleksandr Usyk deserved to beat Tyson Fury because he was the best in the ring that night. This is the thought of Teofimo Lopez, the holder of the WBO junior welterweight belt and former opponent of Vasily Lomachenko.
Lopez also said that he is looking forward to the boxers’ rematch, which is scheduled for December this year.
“The best fighter who won that night was Usyk. Fury is a great champion and he has achieved so much in the sport. The fact that he is still in boxing shows how much he loves and appreciates the sport.
I think we should take our hats off to him and give him flowers for this. He didn’t have to fight Usyk, but he did. Now they will rematch, and I’m looking forward to what they can do,” Lopez told Bible of Boxing.
We remind you that Oleksandr Usyk defeated Tyson Fury by split decision and became the first absolute heavyweight champion since 1999.
First, Usik named the moment he almost lost the fight to Fury.
