World WBO featherweight champion Vasily Lomachenko began preparations for the fight with Cuban Guillermo Rigondeaux.

During his training in his native Belgorod-Dnestrovsky on the beach Basil told what he expects of an opponent.

"Rigondeau says he respects Lomachenko for not being frightened, like everyone else. He tells the guys who are twice as big as him, that he respects those who are not afraid of him. Nothing, on December 9, he will understand that in order to climb higher, one needs not only to have a character.

Rigondo has the most powerful jaw? On December 9 we will verify this. I'm not going to bite, I'm going to beat it, "- said Lomachenko.

Recall that last week the battle was officially confirmed. It will be held December 9 in New York at the legendary arena "Madison Square Garden".
