Tony Yoka will sign with Richard Shaefer or Bob Arum.

He turned down promoter from France, turned down K2's 1 million euros offer and Al Haymon's plus one million dollars offer as well.So now it is between Shaefer and Arum.I think he will sign with Arum.Cast your vote!

 

Last August, a star was born. Tony Yoka won the Olympic title in Rio in the super-heavyweight category. Since then, the 24-year-old has been in high demand and is continuing the media appearances: Miss France jury, awards at the NRJ Music Awards, not to mention the numerous covers of magazines.

But the sportsman does not forget his career as a boxer. Amateur at the Olympics, Tony Yoka has since decided to go professional. It should thus engage with a US promoter (Top Rank is competing with another developer, Richard Schaefer) next week. According to Le Parisien, four fights a year will be scheduled: three in France and one in the United States, for a start in April or May 2017.

Two television groups are still racing to broadcast these fights in exclusivity. These are Canal + and SFR Sport. The encrypted channel regularly broadcasts beautiful posters. Last, in date, the Franco-Cameroonian Hassan N'Dam victory against Venezuelan Alfonso Blanco for the WBA belt means. For its part, SFR Sport has acquired the rights to the World Series of Boxing for the next four years. Stay tuned.

It's a toss up, but although I wasn't too impressed with him, I hope he signs with Schaefer and gets the right trainer. I can't see Roach training him.

 

I like the guy but he's really not that good IMO :/

 

Yoka it's a 50/50 guy, i don't see middle success, i see either a flop or a really good boxer.

 

I think he lost to Filip Hrgovic in the semis to be honest.

 

He may struggle in the pros, he got knocked out by Savon in WSB Amatuer tournament,

Cold knockout. He done well in the Olympics, save for a few gift decisions, but we will see

 

Hrgovic definitely should have won that fight but was given the loss due to political B.S..

 

HBO clearly has the best ability to create hype or produce a star. He should go with Bob Arum.

 

I know savon knocked him out but don't post stuff like this, in a basement somewhere mike lazcano is pulling himself off over this video

 

I thought he won in a close fight.

 

I think Arum can make him in a proper attraction, but he wasted already one heavyweight in the face of young Arias with not keeping him active, so hopefully he does not do the same thing with Yoka.

 

Hrgovic has lost as well, in last year he was very stiff with his movement in the ring and slow as well, he gained some pounds in a year or so, if he fights like that in amateurs he will lose to every guy from top 5.

 

I thought Joyce beat him, I know he had the better accuracy with the few shots he threw but Joyce was outworking and out landing him.
