IBF lightweight world champion Vasyl Lomachenko commented on his victory in the fight with George Kambosos on May 12 in Australia, according to Fightnews.info.
Immediately after being announced the winner, Vasyl crossed himself and looked up to the sky, evidently with a prayer of gratitude to God.
"First of all, I want to thank our God, Jesus Christ. Many thanks to Him. Secondly, I want to give credit to my opponent George and his team. And, of course, a big thank you to my team, my father and coach, Andriy, Egis, Russ, my family, my children, and friends. I want to say a big thank you to the fans for supporting boxing. God bless you all," said Vasyl Lomachenko in an interview after the fight.
He dedicated the championship title to his father. "I want to go back home to my family and spend time with them," Vasyl shared his plans.
This morning, Lomachenko defeated Kambosos by technical knockout in the 11th round and won the vacant IBF lightweight title.
As the UOJ reported, nationalists included Lomachenko in the register of traitors because of his support for the UOC.
