"My friend gave me this present, this suit, Ninja Turtle. I train with this suit, and after that, when I come back home, I take my phone and listen to the internet. I saw some video with McGregor.” "McGregor say, 'You know, I can fight with a ninja turtle. Why you talking about Mayweather? If I want to fight ninja turtle, I can fight with ninja turtle."Some people assumed that Lomachenko was looking for some sort of a crossover money fight against McGregor, but that wasn't the case. The call-out was just for shits and giggles, but he offered to spar with the UFC lightweight champion, which would come in handy if that Floyd Mayweather fight came to fruition as expected.
"I saw this, and then think, ‘Oh! I have a suit, Ninja Turtle. Why not? I send this message for him, but I’m not talking about an official fight. I say just boxing test. If we make a sparring session, I think it will be great for him, because I can show him boxing skills.”If they do end up sparring, we only ask one thing, please give upload a longer video of that session. 16 seconds was really taking the piss.
