WBA Russian Light Heavyweight Champion (Super) Dmitry Bivol in a conversation with , he joked that in the case of the joint work of his trainer Gennady Mashyanov and Briton Anthony Joshua, the Russian heavyweight Sergei Kuzmin a good training partner will appear.
Joshua owned the WBA (Super), WBO, IBF heavyweight belts, but in the last two fights the Briton lost to Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk.
– After your fight with Ramirez in November, Joshua spoke with Mashyanov, and we talked about a possible joint work. How do you look at it? Could he breathe new life into Joshua?
– (Laughs). Changing coaches is a long process. What Gennady Yurievich brought works. But it didn’t work after six months. Certain moments can shine, depending on the results of certain segments, you can say: “Oh, we made it.” But when you work with a specialist for six months or a year, there can be three such moments in a fight. Will this help Joshua?
Although this moment (Mashyanov’s assist) is decisive and final, Bivol told .
– Would you be in favor of Mashyanov paying attention to Joshua?
– This is a communication between Gennady Yuryevich and Joshua, not mine. For me, the main thing is that Gennady Yuryevich pays enough attention to me, is with me, so that our tandem remains as it is today. And so… If Joshua joins our team, it will probably be even better – Sergey Kuzmin will have a good sparring partner (laughs).
