MORE DETAIL ON THE SHOW
Teddy Atlas and co-host Ken Rideout record this episode once again from Oxnard, CA where Teddy is in training camp with his fighter Oleksandr “Alex” Gvozdyk, the WBC Light Heavyweight Champion.
After some discussion of camp, like how Teddy selects and works with Alex’s sparing partners (10:54), the two dive into the recent deal between Tyson Fury and ESPN/Top Rank/Bob Arum and what it means for future fights in the heavyweight division (22:20). Teddy shares what the sport of boxing would need to do to really give fans the fights they want (37:15).
Later, Vasyl Lomachenko and his manager Egis Klimas join the show (1:02:08). Loma covers everything from getting into boxing as a child, his relationship with his father, the switch from amateurs to pros, overcoming the controversial loss to Orlando Salido in his second pro bout, his mental exercises with sports psychologist, thoughts on trash talking, what makes him different from fighters like Gervonta Davis, and more.
For background, Lomachenko is the current unified lightweight world champion. Prior, he held the WBO featherweight and junior lightweight world titles between 2014 and 2018 before moving up to lightweight. He is also a 2x Olympic Gold Medalist.
**NOTE: Ken mistakenly says that Loma won his third world title in just his third professional fight. He meant to say, Loma won his FIRST world title in just his third professional fight. No one has done this in fewer fights, and Loma is only the second person ever to do it in three fights. (Tied with Saensak Muangsurin, a Thai boxer who fought in the 1970s.)
Egis Klimas is the manager to Lomachenko, but also manager to WBC Light Heavyweight Champ Oleksandr “Alex” Gvozdyk, Unified Cruiserweight World Champion Oleksandr Usyk, WBO Light Heavyweight Champ Sergey Kovalev, and other top fighters.
Thanks to John Summerford for the video production and sound editing.

I love hearing Loma talk.. Very Respectful, Very Humble🙂 Always makes me feel great 🇺🇦 When you watch a fighter, and they show respect you think "good sportsman".. if a fighter does that, and is humble you think "down to earth. Smart guy" .. THEN if a fighter ACHIEVES alot AND is respectful also humble... Thats a real *Legend* .. Loma represents a Legend perfectly. Because of the way he is, when i cheer for Loma or write support for Loma, im not just simply* wanting his opponents to be beat.. im showing support for a Legend just following their passion, doing what they love.. Respect for #TEAMLOMA Forever 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🙂

[@js-hk6xs]

@Heretic This comment is 2 years old and how do you you know what I said about ggg and ward.? That was a while ago too. Loma beats Haney but he took franchise to avoid that so he could focus on unifying. Haney didn't duck him. I can't say that. If Haney wins and doesn't fight Loma then it's like okay. But yeah doesn't matter to me Haney kambosos should be a good fight

you know, id like to see that ASAP. lopez would give it a real shot. do u think arum makes that fight any time soon?

[@priscillashuster1258]

ceylon mooney I think Arum might make the Lopez fight next year and it will be a good one and even better if Lopez has a belt. I think Commey is next.

[@ceylonmooney]

@@priscillashuster1258 yeah i think so too, at least thats what theyre sayin. i got no problem with the crolla fight, by the way. id rather it be campbell, but crolla earned it. fair is fair. commey is good. im into that. im really dyin to see if lopez is as good as he looks.

[@samuraijose817]

But you dont understand much about boxing yet you just like loma for maybe his....

[@theinevitable590]

I love Vasyl Lomachenko too but he waited a little too long to get back into that fight.. I feel the rematch might be the same cause if he goes at Lopez over aggressively he is at risk of getting caught rushing into something so I think he just needs a little time away, get his mojo back and he might be able to get that rematch and get his belts back.

[@j0tt0]

What Teddy says at the end about Loma making top fighters quit, about making them lose in their minds and loose hope is so true IMO and demonstrates how boxing is more mental than physical because even in the physical training of boxing you are training your mind for diffferent aspects of the competition: resistance, reaction, mental satability calm under pressure, dominating your emotions.
