"Russ is magic. He is my friend! The best of the best. Boxing is as much an art form as a physical confrontation, and Russ gets that." — Oleksandr Usyk, Undisputed Cruiserweight and Heavyweight World Champion

"It didn’t take me long to see that Russ was a real student of the game and understood boxing inside and out." — Roy Jones Jr., former Middleweight, Super-Middleweight, Light-Heavyweight, and Heavyweight World Champion

"Russ is just a cool dude! I was always impressed with his results as a trainer, skills as a commentator, and success at Rival … he built it from nothing to one of the top brands in the world." — Lennox Lewis, former Undisputed Heavyweight World Champion

After more than 45 years of dedication and sacrifice, International Boxing Hall of Famer Russ Anber is one of boxing’s most respected figures: trainer of champions, legendary hand-wrapper, cornerman and cutman, and CEO of Rival Boxing Gear.

Unrivaled is his definitive memoir — an unfiltered account of life inside the fight game. From meeting the heros of his youth like Angelo Dundee and Ray Arcel to unforgettable nights alongside champions including Otis Grant, Jean Pascal, Vasiliy Lomachenko, and Oleksandr Usyk, this is a rare and intimate chronicle of boxing’s inner circle — its triumphs, betrayals, and unbreakable bonds.

Enriched with exclusive interviews from the fighters and trainers who helped define an era, Unrivaled provides a record of modern boxing history — from the man who’s seen it all.

This edition includes exclusive QR-coded access to filmed interviews with Russ Anber.
