The former world champion in three weight categories, Vasily Lomachenko, shared his opinion about the success of his compatriot. According to Vasily, the Ukrainian is on another level in relation to Joshua.
“It means a lot because it’s a big win for our country. I’m sorry, I don’t understand how to explain in English. It’s a big win. Next time I want to see the green WBC title. It doesn’t matter who Si Usyk is fighting for him – Fury or another boxer.
Joshua changed his strategy a bit, but it didn’t help him because Usyk was on a different level. Will Fury return? Sorry, I don’t know,” Lomachenko said in an interview on Fight Hub TV’s YouTube channel.
A video of the best moments of the Usyk-Joshua fight is available on ISPORT.
