The wait is over: Lomachenko vs Teófimo López

The wait is over and tomorrow we finally know who will become the new unified champion.

Although Lomachenko hasn’t fought since 2019, he denied suggestions that there could be rust on the ring.

“I don’t think so, I feel great, I can’t wait for Saturday night,” Vasyl Lomachenko told FightNews, “I have a goal, I have a dream and he has the IBF title, I need this belt,  On Saturday I will remove the belt.

Teofimo has been talking out against Lomachenko, to which Lomachenko replied: “I understand only one thing, whatever you say, you have to show it in the ring, that’s it,” “In my country, if you insult somebody, you’d better be prepared for them to hurt you, If we were back in my country, he would learn pretty quickly that he can’t run his mouth like that.

“Whatever I say, I believe in it, so what he’s saying, for example, he actually believes, but if he doesn’t follow it up with actions and fulfill those words, then he chose those words poorly to begin with.”I’m definitely not going to feel sorry for him, If I get a chance to cause him pain, I’m going to do it,” Lomachenko said.
