Iegor Golub: "I Think Usyk Will Soon Arrive at Camp"

In an interview with the YouTube channel Tike Myson, the coach of Ukrainian lightweight (up to 61,2 kg) representative Denys Berinchyk (18-0, 9 KOs) and ambassador for Ready To Fight, Iegor Golub, talked about communicating with Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs).

Did you meet Usyk and his team in Spain before the fight was postponed? Are such meetings planned now, or is Usyk already preparing? Or is he not there yet?

No, I haven't been in touch with Oleksandr recently. I think he will also soon arrive at his location and start rebuilding the camp.

Physically, how far is your camp from theirs?

About 150 kilometers. They're in two entirely different cities.

Iegor previously discussed the preparation for his protege's fight against Emanuel Navarrete (38-1-1, 31 KOs). The likely date for the fight is May 18.

The fight for the undisputed heavyweight title (over 90,7 kg) between WBC champion Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) and the holder of the WBO, WBA, IBO, and IBF titles, Oleksandr Usyk, is scheduled for May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
