He told ESNews, “Eddy didn’t have the time to work 100%. He’s a very busy trainer, and I understand. Sometimes you have to make your change for the better. It’s nothing against him. He’s a good trainer. I won five fights with him by knockout, so there’s nothing wrong. I’m going to another level, and I need a full-on, 100% [trainer]. It was never bad blood. It was about dedication and time, you know?”

The duo was escalating perfectly in the gym and in the ring. However, it seems that after recovering from the wrist injury and mental health issues, ‘KingRy’ wants a fresh start.
