WBA lightweight champion Vasiliy Lomachenko (11-1, 9 KOs) has laughed off the recent statements from his upcoming opponent, WBO lightweight champion Jose 'Sniper' Pedraza (25-1, 12 KOs).
Pedraza stated - "Technically speaking, [Lomachenko] has never faced a fighter like me."
"Does he really believe that?," said a laughing Lomachenko to Victor Ortiz.
"This is what I've always wanted, to unify titles. This has always been my goal and it will take me a step closer to becoming the undisputed champion. After this fight, it will be easier for me to unify the titles. I do not expect him to give me anything. I'm going to get into the ring to do what I know how to do well."
