Russ Anber is one of the most distinguished names in boxing. In a career spanning more than 45 years as a trainer and cut-man, he’s worked with some of the sport’s biggest names, including heavyweight great Oleksandr Usyk, Vasiliy Lomachenko and Roy Jones Jr. He’s also written a new memoir, Russ Anber: Unrivaled, in which he reflects on more than four decades of working in one of sport’s most pressurised environments.
Anber explains to More than the Score’s Ade Adedoyin what separates the elite from the rest. Following Fabio Wardley’s defeat to Daniel Dubois, he also discusses why it’s important to know when it’s time for a fight to stop.
Every Monday to Friday, More than the Score tells stories beyond the scoreline from all over the world of sport. From Formula One to netball, MMA to figure skating, and Grand Slam tennis to Diamond League athletics. We’ve got interviews with extraordinary athletes like Tour de France winner Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, Winter Olympic champion Elana Meyers Taylor, trailblazing Samoan athlete Alex Rose and cricket superstar Smriti Mandhana, as well as the experts working behind the scenes, from football super-agents to the coaches keeping athletes in peak form. Plus, we’ve got the expertise of the BBC’s top journalists, who share their insights from decades of covering sport at all levels.
