    Usyk dumps his trainer, no detail on replacement

    Just in from a Ukrainian source https://www.champion.com.ua/boxing/2018/07/16/709060/

    Usyk dumped his trainer Yaroslav Vatamanjuk.

    "He wasn't really my trainer, he simply helped me in certain things. At the moment we went our separate ways because what he offered didn't help me develop."

    "I don't want to work with someone just to have someone there. He's a good guy, but being a good guy is not a profession."


    Update - looks like Russ Anber will take over the corner (cutman and trainer?)

    I'm glad Usyk dumped him, he was more of his boy, someone his own age that was more of a hanger on than a proper trainer.

    Looks like the same excuse for getting rid of him that he had for Ali Bashir.

    With Ali he said "I wasn't learning anything new", and so is the case with this guy.

            This is the 2nd trainer he's dumped already... He doesn't want to become like Amir Khan.

              I thought Russ Amber was his trainer now?

                Russ Anber is stepping in as trainer for the fight.

                Russ was originally his cutman, and Loma's as well.

                  I think it makes no difference...Russ has more to offer.

                  The young guy was the vice president of the Kyiv Boxing Federation...I don't think outside of that position he has any boxing credentials.

                  Usyk is classically trained so to say, there is nothing that guy could offer him.

                  He had only one other fighter that he trained (Berinchyk) and he dumped him as well.

                    For those saying he is doomed, dude dumped Loma's pops just before one of his fights. He also has dumped James Ali Bashir. So yeah, dude just likes going through trainers LOL. Hasn't affected him yet and Anber is a knowledgeable fella so he should be fine.

                    As the great Aaron Rodgers once said, R-E-L-A-X.
