WBO cruiser champ Usyk fires trainer Bashir, opts for Lomachenko sr.

It appears that WBO Cruiserweight Champion, Oleksandr Usyk , (11-0, 10 KO’s) has parted ways with long time trainer James Ali Bashir...   Usyk released a statement, explaining that he thinks the world of Bashir and appreciates everything he has done for him, but realises that what James brings to the table is not enough for his progression..  Oleksandr also hopes that he and Bashir can stay in close contact and remain friends..
Usyk has opted to train under the tutelage of Anatoly Lomachenko, father of WBO super featherweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko.
Last September Usyk, the 2012 Olympic heavyweight Gold medalist, won the WBO cruiserweight championship in a record 10 fights, when he beat Krzysztof Glowacki in Poland, edging the previous record held by Evander Holyfield, who won his WBA belt in just 12 bouts..
Usyk made his US debut last December on HBO, beating Thabiso Mchunu in 9 at the LA Forum, and is widely regarded as the best Cruiserweight on the planet.
