Beterbiev going to represent canada in the olmypics

Source he's representing Canada?
He won't be able to win a WBC belt for 2 years if that's the case. If he wants to fight a guy with the WBC belt, he'd have to have a non-title fight.
He wants to fulfil his dream of winning Olympic Gold, that his late father wished.

He has a lot to offer as a pro and he has a good chin, he got pushed on the neck whilst being off balance vs Page Jr.

 

What's your beef with Beterbiev? He fought ex LHW champions in his 6th and 8th fight, and beat them better or as good as anyone else ever did.
Not many boxers get fasttracked like that.

I sure hope he doesn't do it, because it would disqualify him for the Stevenson fight. It might be a Haymon ploy to not have him breathing down Adonis neck.

 

Will he fight at LHW or HW?

 

Canada have a serious medal prospect at 64kg anyway

 

who?

 

It could be a smart move. It could possibly get Canadian fans behind him in numbers that could really fill his wallet when he comes back to the pros.

He also still needs alot of work if he expects to beat Kovalev and this could give him time to polish up.

 

A run in the Olympics would not prepare him for a fight against Kovalev.

 

Arthur Biyarslanov

 

Beterbiev used to box at HW at the Olympics because Mekhontsev was a LHW. If Artur will now compete at LHW he will likely win a medal (at HW it is more difficult, Savon is there)

‏@abeterbiev
The rumors that I'm not coming back to pros after Olympic are false. I have unfinished business here #allbelts. @yvonmichelGYM


BUT...this is not an authenticated account. Artur cannot speak English but it could be his team/translator for all we know.
This tweet says he is going to the Olympics, then going back to the pros.

 

Its just as hard at 175, de la Cruz and ward are there

 

What a punk.:verysad

 

what a fraud fears Sergey KRUSHER Kovalev
