It very tough to get rid of Bashir -- who's been a great trainer and supported your career absolutely... Who called you the best Cruiserweight in the World when you had 6 pro fights and said you would beat everybody out there -- and of course Bashir was dead right about Usyk every step of the way.

However if there's somebody who's better for your career---even though your trainer is very, very good---you switch to the new trainer -- Lomachenko.

Good choice. Bashir seemed like he was chosen simply because he was from the Klitschko camp. Usyk was previously trained by Papa Lomachenko, as well as that monster Ukrainian 2012 team, further proving this to be a perfect fit.
