WBA lightweight champion Jorge Linares said goodbye to his coach Ismael Salas.

This happened before the start of preparation for the fight against the WBO title-holder in the second featherweight title, Vasily Lomachenko.

The reason for this decision was that Salas would prepare David Haye for revenge against Tony Bellew.

"Linares is no longer with me. He prefers to stay and train in Japan and Las Vegas.

I can not go with him because of the preparation in London of David Haye to the revenge against Tony Bellew in May. So we split up.

Linares needs an experienced expert, a person who can direct him to the right path, since Jorge is waiting for a big chess game and he will need a plan, "Salas said in an interview with Boxingnewsonline. net.

Recall, the boxers have finally agreed to hold a fight, which will be held May 12, 2018 at the world famous arena Madison Square Garden in New York.
