    This guy is absolute class. The hair, the suits, the brilliant translation and the obvious comedic collusion between him and Usyk acknowledged by constant nods and smirks. Class boxing double act.

    Here we can see Usyk and Krassyuk punking Coogan from IFL TV and treating him with the contempt he deserves.

    Haha this guy is everywhere with him, the funny thing is I know both languages and he always got literally everything translated which most translators avoid!

    I didn't notice contempt... It was rather humor. A little bit strange humor, maybe, more like drunk humor. :smile:
    Maybe Usyk was adrenaline drunk from the show. :lol:

    So often things get paraphrased. And if a fighter happens to give a really long answer, the end translation is completely different.

    He knows English much better than Usyk's manager Egis Klimas, who translates absolutely awfully from English to Russian and vice versa.

    I know Alex Krassyuk personally, and while a lot of people say he looks like an imbecile, in reality he is a smart and knowlegable guy.

    Usyk is a funny guy! very dry sense of humour.

    What exactly is his role within in the team, does he represent Loma too? I'm looking forward to seeing more of him in the build up to the Bellew fight.

    That's good to know, the way he laughs sometimes I was wondering if he had to edit some bits out.

    Answer for @pow :

    Like @minemax said, Krassyuk is a CEO of K2 Promotions, Ukrainian part of K2. Tom Loeffler is a CEO of US part of K2, and Bernd Boente is a CEO of KMG.

    Krassyuk isn't involved in Loma's team at all which should be really sad for English-speaking journalists since Egis Klimas is one of the worst interpreters I've ever heard in my life.

    As for Krassyuk, he has a really good sense of humor and has no problems lauging at himself. And, as I said, he is much smarter than he looks. He somewhat resembles me Loyd from the Dumb and Dumber movie, but in reality he isn't dumb at all.

    When Usyk faces Wilder then Krassyuk will have to translate for both of them.

    Russian is his native language. And it's not the problem, anyway. His English is the problem. It's rather basic... Just watch a couple of videos where he himself is interviewed...
