Absolute world champion Alexander Usik told how he agreed to work with Anatoly Lomachenko and shared his impressions of training with a specialist.

"When I flew to New York to fight Vasily Lomachenko with Jorge Linares, I told Anatoly Lomachenko that he is the only one who can help me before the fight with Murat Gassiev. He said that I will prepare myself or with him. And he agreed to help me.

In previous preparations, I was not shaking from hard work, but Anatoly said that everything is fine, so it should be. So it was five times.

Before the start of the training camp, I had a lot of questions, even a slight panic, but then came Pope Lomachenko, Kolosov and I started working.

Already during the battle I clearly heard both Anatoly Lomachenko and Vasily.

I heard and tried to do all this so that he would not scream, did not break his voice and was calm, "- confessed Usik in an interview with YouTube channel, Boxing. ua.

Recall, on the night of July 22, Sasha defeated the Russian Murat Gassiev by a unanimous decision. Usik won the Muhammad Ali Cup and became the absolute champion of the world.

Note that after the battle, Usik said that he would very much like Lomachenko the elder to be his coach.
