WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn and his coach Glenn Rushton were dissatisfied with the Top Rank Gym in Las Vegas, which they were offered as a place to complete preparations for the June 9 fight against mandatory challenger Terence Crawford.
"Americans are doing everything to drive me crazy," Horn said. “After a long flight from Brisbane, I decided to do a little training, but the room was so hot, I could not do it. Who builds a gym of bricks and tin in the desert without air conditioning?"
"The places and conditions here are just unbearable," added his coach Rushton. “We were offered to train at a temperature of 100 degrees. I think, next week before the fight, the temperature will rise even higher. The Top Rank Gym has a tin roof, so the heat is terrible. In the gym we were also told that air conditioners do not work. We tried to open a large gate to the gym to ventilate, but they were locked, and no one found the keys. The heavy bags were in a deplorable state, and the speed bag was completely deflated. Yesterday we finally opened one door for airing, but we are not going to continue training there!"
