I always want a challenge - always.
Most important for me is to fight the best, where the fight means something and fans want it, people want to see it.
I want the best and to get the most out of my short boxing career by fighting the best I can.
It's not in my character to say what I'm going to do and how it's going to go.
The life of a boxing athlete is short, so I don't have time to waste or time to take tune-up fights or whatever.
My job is to work my best boxing in the ring.
I know I will have to prove I am the best and make history in pro boxing, but I have no doubts about it, as I did in the amateurs, and I will do it as a pro.
People ask me about Orlando Salido. My answer is that I fight for Top Rank and will take on who they schedule for me. But I would like to welcome Salido to Lomachenko University in the ring some day.
If, in 10 years, or 20 or 30 years, you sit down with your friends and talk about boxing, you need to remember my name.
Being recognized as the pound-for-pound No. 1 fighter is my ultimate dream.
I come in the ring to feel, check, and see my opponent. Then I understand him and understand the fight.
No one will train me but my father.
I want to fight. I want to fight. I want to unify titles.
People understand boxing in the U.K. The fans love it.
In my hometown, I know everybody.
I don't like a big city.
I think Marriaga is a very good opponent for me. It's very hard when you have to find the keys to his defense. If people don't understand boxing, they don't know what he's capable to do. I understand it all.
The reason I like Olympic boxing is that all the best fighters come together and find out who the best fighter is.
I am like every single fighter - going into the ring, I have in my mind, 'Finish the bout before all the rounds are over, and to get the victory before that.'
I've never had a problem making featherweight. Of course, it wasn't easy, but it also was never an issue.
