Earlier in the week, unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk performed a feat that impressed many with his reaction speed.
During his open training, Usyk will balance the coins along his arm, lifting his arm at lightning speed – sending the coins into the air and catching them one by one before they touch. canvas. Starting with two coins, he worked his way up to four.

The trick is something Usyk has been doing for several years now.
Ukrainian boxer Vasyl Lomachenko has also done the same thing and has shown it many times. It’s no surprise that both men perform the same trick as they share a trainer, Anatoly Lomachenko, Vasyl’s father.
In an interview with Intu Boxing, promoter Eddie Hearn was challenged to recreate this trick with three coins. Despite claiming that he “has two”, it is clear that all three coins have hit the floor.
“I HAVE TWO!”
Its @EddieHearnit’s your turn to give #UsykChallenge formerly.
How do you think he moved on?
