Lapin Says Usyk Could Be in Joshua’s Corner

CEO of the team behind WBC, WBA and IBF Heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, Serhii Lapin, spoke about former unified Heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua working with their camp.

“A trainer isn’t one person. It’s an entire team: the head coach, his assistant, and several strong specialists — a structured system where each person is responsible for their part of the job.

AJ came in, he and Usyk worked together, but there was no sparring. Jake Paul isn’t a southpaw, so there was no point.

Could Oleksandr be in Anthony’s corner? For championship fights, I think yes,” said Lapin.

Joshua’s next fight will take place on December 19 in Miami, USA. His opponent will be Jake Paul.
