As previously reported by BoxingScene.com, world lightweight champion Vasiliy Lomachenko says he wants to enjoy hunting and fishing and not box on into his 40s like fellow great Manny Pacquiao.
The 31-year-old two-time Olympic champion will hope to add the vacant WBC belt to his WBA and WBO lightweight titles when he fights Britain's Luke Campbell in London on Saturday.
Lomachenko, who enjoyed an outstanding amateur career winning Olympic gold in 2008 (featherweight) and 2012 (lightweight) and is believed to have lost just one of his 396 bouts, told the BBC he will retire before he is 40.
Lomachenko has been breaking records for the speed with which he has amassed world titles in three weight classes, the others being featherweight and super featherweight. All this in just 14 professional bouts.
His one defeat to Orlando Salido came in only his second fight and his first world title bout (WBO featherweight).
"It's one of my goals and dream to put my name in boxing history," Lomachenko said. "That's why I started a pro career and fought for a world title in my second fight. I'm the fastest three-weight world champion, so I do everything for legacy."
Lomachenko is considered by some as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the sport. But there are others who are staking their claim to the top seat, like welterweight champion Terence Crawford and middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez.
Lomachenko has his own ideas regarding the top three of that list.
"All champions have a big ego. I think I am the best pound-for-pound in the world. Terence Crawford thinks he is. Canelo Alvarez thinks he is. For me Crawford is second, Alvarez third. Although none of us accept losing," Lomachenko said to Daily Mail.
Among the oddsmakers, Lomachenko is a huge favorite to win the contest with Campbell, who also captured Olympic gold at the 2012 games.
