Usyk parts ways with trainer Bashir

WBO cruiserweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk, (11-0, 10 KO’s) has issued the following statement today in regards to his future training and the parting with his trainer James Ali Bashir.

“Bashir is a very nice man and good trainer. He has his own approach to training. But the moment came when I realized that it was not enough for me any longer. That is why I decided to change everything that I did before. I am very grateful to him for being with me all this time. There is nothing personal, just business. I think we will stay in touch in the future.”

Usyk will now be trained by Anatoly Lomachenko, the father and trainer of WBO super featherweight world champion Vasyl Lomachenko.
