Usyk rather wants Bellew at CW, then Joshua...

[MDPopescu]

Do you know this guy, introduced as Usyk's head trainer at the weigh in for the final?

... Of course i don't know him -- sounds like an Ukrainian name...

[kafkod]

then Papachenko was in his corner, but the cutman was in charge with the camp... OK...

That's what Usyk says in the video I embedded .. that Anber is the "superviser" of his camp. He also says that his former coach, Serhiy Vatamanyuk, was "not really my coach"

Here's an article about it: https://www.express.co.uk/sport/boxi...g-Super-Series

Maybe Papachenko is really in charge, but, for some reason, they don't want everybody knowing about it.

Undisputed in cw vs 4 belt hw in April at Wembley? Possible anyone?

No idea....searched the name and nothing, don't recall him dropping that name in any interviews.

Maybe Papachenko is really in charge, but, for some reason, they don't want everybody knowing about it.

In an interview he said that he reached out to Papachenko after Loma's last fight I think? I forgot... anyway he personally asked Papachenko to help him prepare for Gassiev.

It was a comprehensive camp, and they had someone for everything...strength and conditioning, Russ, Papachenko...

If I were to guess Russ will be the guy in there doing pad work, working the bag with him, generally making him work.

Papachenko is the boss.

His name sounded like Andrey Olapryenko. I did a search for it too, but came up blank. He is obviously the small, dark haired guy walking out alongside Usyk for the weigh in.

He was part of the corner team for the fight, but Anber was acting like head cornerman. It was Anber who came to the ring centre with Usyk for the ref's instructions, and Anber who was entering the ring in between rounds.

I noticed Papachenko giving Usyk instructions from outside the ring though, Virgil Hunter style.

Man I just re-watched his big post fight interview and he dropped everyone's name...everyone who helped him and that name never came up...

Maybe he doesn't have an official trainer and they just needed a name to be announced and it was just someone in his entourage?

He mentioned two businessmen that organized the camp, Papachenko, Wlad, Gvozdyk another sparring partner....Only Andrey he mentions is Kolosov which is the mental coach.

Lol .. I watched that interview too. He thanked everybody who had helped him prepare for the fight and every member of his team, by name ... and none of the names he mentioned sounded anything like the name of the guy who was introduced as his head trainer at the weigh in!

Four belts? Look in AJ's closet, surely he owns more than four belts. Probably owns dozens.

If you're referring to world title belts, he has three, not four. Surely you can count?

[LetOutTheCage]

A guy with over 70% of his fights ends in KO's lacks power? Sure he might not have one-punch knockout power but he lands cleanly and certainly has enough power to hurt people.

This is a guy who throws and lands a lot of shots, even big heavyweights will be effected if they have to take a lot of shots.

He will dismantle Bellew and I honestly think he could very well beat the likes of Joshua
