The legend of world boxing Mike Tyson paid tribute to Vasily Lomachenko.

Tyson praised the Ukrainian, noting that now he is the number one in this sport.

"I think that the best in boxing is now this Ukrainian guy Lomachenko. He fights very nicely and stylishly, he has great technique. I also like Errol Spence, but still Lomachenko is now the best, "said Tyson.

Let us note that Lomachenko will hold his next fight on December 1 or 8. Vasiliy's opponent will be the representative of Puerto Rico, Jose Pedraza, who is the WBO world champion.

Recall, in the last match Lomachenko defeated Jorge Linares. It is interesting that in case of a victory over Pedraza, Lomachenko will open his way to meet with Mikey Garcia, where four championship belts will be at stake.

Earlier, Lomachenko promised to organize an incredible show in the next meeting.
