Vasyl Lomachenko

My father taught me boxing and showed me what this beautiful sport means.

People understand boxing in the U.K. The fans love it.

I don't like a big city.

I think Marriaga is a very good opponent for me. It's very hard when you have to find the keys to his defense. If people don't understand boxing, they don't know what he's capable to do. I understand it all.

I don't want to be just a regular great fighter. I want to be the best.

I need more fights to get better as a fighter. And I will keep getting better.

The reason I like Olympic boxing is that all the best fighters come together and find out who the best fighter is.

I am like every single fighter - going into the ring, I have in my mind, 'Finish the bout before all the rounds are over, and to get the victory before that.'

As far as moving to 130, I got tired of waiting for the other champions, none of whom wanted to fight me. I'm hopeful that with the move to 130 lbs. will come better fights, particularly against the other champions, so we can make our dream of becoming undisputed champion.
