World champion WBA lightweight champion Jorge Linares told about his preparation for the title defense in a fight with Vasily Lomachenko.

In particular, the Venezuelan noted that the absence in the training camp of his coach Ismael Salas will not affect the training.

And it is prepared not only by Brother Carlos, but also by the famous American specialist Rudi Hernandez, as well as the physical training coach Jorge Capetio.

"I passed the first stage of training in Japan. Met with his promoter Akihiko Honda. We decided that this is the best possible option. Capetio works with me in the morning, he is also my nutritionist.

And my brother Carlos is already today considered the second best coach of Japan, and will soon become one of the best coaches in the world, "Linares said in an interview with BoxingScene.

Note, earlier it became known that the main coach Linares will not help the boxer in the preparation for the fight. The reason for this decision was that Salas is preparing David Haye for revenge against Tony Bellew.

Let's note, the battle of Linares-Lomachenko will be held on May 12, 2018 at the arena Madison Square Garden in New York. At stake can be just three titles.
