    That is true, but Anatoly has left a fairly clear stylistic print on Usyk too, despite the huge size difference. It doesn't mean he's some kind of training guru but he seems to be doing something right. I'm not at all convinced it's always a good thing, but there's so many cases of father (or uncle)/ son partnerships bringing great results that there has to be something in it.

      He was a coach for the National Team of Ukraine. He hasn't just trained Vasil. He's probably the best coach right now out of Eastern Europe.

        Does he currently train any other pros or do you know if he has expressed interest in doing so? I would think he would be a hot commodity if he wants to be.

          I don't know but if I were him I wouldn't do it. Too much time commitment as well as travel, then when do you train Loma and take care of your local gym. He's done enough, he's too proven, he doesn't need the money. What's the incentive for him? His main goal is to help his son and that's what he is doing.
