Klimas: Usyk is trained by Russ Anber, not by Anatoly Lomachenko!
Egis Klimas, manager of WBO cruiserweight champion of the world Oleksandr Usyk (11-0, 10 KOs) in the interview to **********.com gave his vision of what have happened in the situation with Oleksandr Usyk and his former trainer James Ali Bashir.
"Basically that was his decision. After the last fight, he wasn't happy with the last camp and I know that. We said the fight will be over and then we'll talk. The fight was over and they went in different directions. He said he was going to go back to Ukraine and make a few changes; I helped him as much as possible." - said Egis Klimas.
Klimas also revealed very unexpected (if not to say shocking) information that Usyk didn’t left Bashir to work with his former amateur trainer Vasyl Lomachenko - now Usyk is trained by Russ Anber, who is mostly known as a cutman of WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder.
“Right now he's training with Russ Anber. Anatolyisn't training him, everybody thinks that, but he is being trained by Russ Anber. He's helping him in some directions, but his main trainer is Russ Anber.” - said Usyk’s manager.
Egis Klimas also denied the assumption that it was his decision to fire Bashir.
“I am the manager, I don't get involved in the training camp too much, look Sergey Kovalev changed trainers so many times, he went to Don Turner, to another guy to another guy and then he ended up with John David Jackson. Boxers they want somebody to pay attention and if the trainer isn't paying attention they will look for somebody else.” - said Klimas.

If you remember that post I made about James Ali Bashar being upset with being fired as trainer he said Usyk complained about his hands hurting during his last fight. Bashar said that was the first fight he didn't wrap Usyk's hands. Come to find out Abner was the one who wrapped Usyk's hands
Here is the supposed plan Klimas and Anber are concocting
Personally I think Usyk is to talented for this to affect him He should still win easily.
