The WBO world champion in the second featherweight champion Vasily Lomachenko named the name of his best sparring partner during appearances in his professional career.

According to the Ukrainian, this boxer is his compatriot Dmitry Mitrofanov, who trains in the same room as Vasily.

"Dmitry Mitrofanov. Before the second Olympic Games, I constantly sparred with him. He fought in weight up to 75 kg, and I - up to 60 kg. I never miss a lot of strikes, never, but I missed it. Not that much, but missed. Yes, it was heavier, but it does not make a difference, "- said Lomachenko.

Recall that his next fight Lomachenko will hold on May 12, 2018 against the Venezuelan Jorge Linares. At stake can be just 3 titles.
