- 10 years ago
Gary Russell Jr. and Vasyl Lomachenko will be battling for the vacant WBO featherweight crown on Saturday, June 21 at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.
"I feel like this is something I've worked for for so long. I think that it is destiny, and I believe that some people who haven't, they're about ready to find out," said Russell Jr.
"I learned how to adjust to professional boxing, because I've never been in the ring so much. But I think just fighting the 12 rounds with Orlando Salido I got to experience more than if I would be fighting just regular level guys for two years," Lomachenko stated.
