In a career spanning more than 45 years as a trainer and cut-man, he&#8217;s worked with some of the sport&#8217;s biggest names, including heavyweight great Oleksandr Usyk, Vasiliy Lomachenko and Roy Jones Jr. He&#8217;s also written a new memoir, Russ Anber: Unrivaled, in which he reflects on more than four decades of working in one of sport&#8217;s most pressurised environments.<\/p>\n<p>Anber explains to More than the Score&#8217;s Ade Adedoyin what separates the elite from the rest. Following Fabio Wardley&#8217;s defeat to Daniel Dubois, he also discusses why it&#8217;s important to know when it\u2019s time for a fight to stop.<\/p>\n<p>Every Monday to Friday, More than the Score tells stories beyond the scoreline from all over the world of sport.
