1…2…3… Our LA crew got in the ring with Egis Klimas, manager for some of the world’s best boxers, for HBO Sports’ The Fight Game with Jim Lampley.
We filmed a sit-down interview with Klimas and sportscaster Melissa Stark. Klimas mentors and manages IBF/WBO/WBA light heavyweight champion Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev, WBO featherweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko and IBF featherweight champion Evgeny Gradovich. We also got some serious #gymspiration filming an interview with Klimas and Kovalev together at the boxing gym.
It might surprise you that Klimas was never a boxer himself! When talking about Kovalev, Klimas said: “He always comes into the ring angry and ready to kick ass. I’ve never seen anyone but him do that on a regular basis.”
