Kovalev said this to allboxing.ru about wanting to add Khromov to his team as a coach:
“I would love to talk to him [Nikolai Khromov], listen to his opinion, maybe have his advice,” said Kovalev. ”Or maybe he could agree to being one my coaches. I wouldn’t mind. He’s a great trainer even though he trains amateurs. If I got to be honest, he is a really good coach.”
Just how the addition of Khromov – or another trainer – would impact Kovalev’s current situation with his trainer John David Jackson is unclear...
“Filter everything that I need and dump everything that I don’t need,” said Kovalev. ”Maybe add someone into my team. I’ve already started the talks with some of the specialists whom give me advice, whom might be useful for me and the career ahead. It’s going to be like a second breath,” said Kovalev.
“I’ve never used practices and tactics of U.S coaches,” said Kovalev. ”If I got to be honest, they’re all zeroes over there. Some think about them like they’re the best. These some are wrong,” said Kovalev.
Kovalev is talking about the U.S boxing coaches, and yet he’s still being trained by a U.S coach in John David Jackson. What does this mean? Is Kovalev going to keep Jackson or simply add the Russian coach Khromov to the team if he accepts the offer to work alongside his U.S coach?
JDJ should've jumped ship right then! He shouldn't have been involved with the Ward rematch!
