Loma Jokes About Koalas at Press Conference

Former three-division world champion Vasyl Lomachenko (17-3, 11 KOs) responded humorously to a question about koalas at the final press conference before his fight with George Kambosos (21-2, 10 KOs).

— I am in Australia for the first time. I really like this place. The people here are very pleasant.

It's very clean, lots of nature, many beautiful buildings.

— We saw your photo with a koala.

— Yes, it looked like a cat mixed with a dog, said Lomachenko, which made the audience laugh.

Kambosos responded to this.

"I'm very focused on what will happen in the ring: me and Lomachenko. I can't afford to think about anyone other than Lomachenko. I've been obsessed with this guy. That's all I've been thinking about.

I wasn't thinking about fishing. I like fishing too. I wasn't thinking about the koala. I've never held a koala in my life," said Kambosos.

The fight between Lomachenko and Kambosos is scheduled for May 12 in Australia.
