Vasiliy Lomachenko expects Luke Campbell to be toughest fight of his career

Lomachenko expecting difficulties with Campbell's height and reach advantage

World champion Vasiliy Lomachenko (13-1) is not at all worried about giving away the home advantage to mandatory challenger Luke Campbell (20-2) on August 31 at the O2 Arena in London with the vacant lightweight WBC world title at stake, along with the WBA and WBO belts.

Both Lomachenko and Campbell captured gold medals at the 2012 London Olympics. Styles make fights and some believe that Campbell has the technique and physical size to seize the opportunity.

“I am happy to fight in London. I have great memories of having won the Olympic gold medal there. The arena was packed every day and the atmosphere was electric. I think this will be a very technical fight,” Lomachenko said in an interview with British newspaper The Daily Telegraph.

“I don’t want to talk too much. It could be the toughest fight of my career so far, maybe, because he has a height and reach advantage. It’s a big challenge for me, but I never think about that. I just do my job, I train hard and then get into the ring. I’m going to win. I’m sure of that.”
