“Maybe I will fight Lomachenko. It might be after he fights Haney. After [Ломаченко] I want to fight Tank, he said.

“I know that I will become one of the best young fighters that I am. I’m about to take my career to the next level and I’m ready for the big PPV fights, ready for the big names. I’m charged and I’m going to show everyone why I’m cool,” Shakur promised.
