Usyk dumps his trainer, no detail on replacement

Who the hell dumps their trainer 5 days before the fight? The guy must have done something REALLY bad.

Peculiar situation.

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?)

Usyk needs no trainer.

He is very feel about this.

Not ideal preparation.

One thing I got from watching Gassiev vs Dorticos is what a vital role Abel Sanchez played in getting that win for Gassiev. Gassiev went into the fight with a game plan - no doubt, worked out for him by Abel - and he stuck to it, and it worked.

Maybe Usyk thinks he needs someone who can do the same kind of job for him as Abel did for Gassiev - help him work out a game plan and take charge in the corner to make sure he sticks to it.

There is no evidence that this just happened, he said they parted in the documentary just released, but I think this was done a while ago.

Where is the evidence this JUST happened? it was mentioned in a documentary released today that was obviously filmed a while ago.

He'll outbox Gassiev regardless, he's just that skillful.

Unless Gassiev can catch Usyk with something, but Usyk has a great chin. He ate bombs from a big puncher in his last fight. Really that was the best fight we were going to get in cruiser, this one is just more "prestigous." Breidis is the second best fighter in cruiser and I think he beats Gassiev if they were to fight.

I had Usyk-Breidis a draw btw.
