And Lapin has disclosed a key difference in Usyk's preparations for fight number two.
"The primary improvement was the deep integration of a scientific approach into the preparation process," he told 888betvisa-slots.com.
"This autumn, Ready To Fight, our online boxing platform, partnered with leading experts from the Institute of Sport Science in Katowice, Poland, and ꧒the Miller School of Medicine at the University of Miami.
"As a result, in our training c🥂amp, there were world-class experts in sports science and medicine.

"The only realistic option for him after 🍌a win is to return home and spendඣ time with his family," added Lapin.
"This is so✨mething he is absolutely committed to. What comes 💃next remains to be seen.
"Usyk, as well as our entire team, will always stay engaged in boxing and๊ the development of theജ boxing industry.
"It’s very hard to u♐nderstand if he’s serious when answering questions about his long-term plans (referring to a possible bare-knuckle switch).

"So, it's better not to try to skip the film ahead to see what happens next, but watch the story unfold step by step to fully appreciate how it develops."
