The Olympics is still my greatest achievement... I have many belts, but there is only one Olympic gold.
I'm very happy to fight on the same card with Vasyl Lomachenko and Oleksandr Gvozdyk. This is something we've been talking about since we were amateurs - to have three members of the 2012 Ukrainian Olympic team in the same event.
I am Ukrainian and fighting like a Ukrainian.
My mom said to me: 'Sonny, you need to study English.' And I replied to her: 'Mom, I do not need it. I'm going to be horse-boy, would I speak English with horses?' Mom said: 'Darling, you need to.' But I did not listen to my mother.
I do think Briedis will be the toughest opponent I have faced in my professional career. He is 23-0, he's a cruiserweight, and he can punch, and that makes anyone dangerous.
Physical pain is temporary.
