    Really looking forward to watching Tony Yoka's next fight. He seems to be aiming for quality oppoents very early in his career, I expect him to be facing someone in the top 70 with a very good record in his next fight.

    Anyone heard any names mentioned for possible opponents.

    Nope, but as you I'm looking forward to this guy.

    Think he may do a bit better than many are giving him.

    Not a world champ however, imo, maybe a challenger.

    Would the board pick him over Price at this point in their careers?

    French domestic scene has quite a few guys who would be more than willing to face him... He's probably not ready for a Duhaupas, Takam or even a Ouatah... But Leonet, Tony and Aurieng would all be good opponents for him to have over the next 8-10 months.. with maybe the odd Brazilian regular thrown in there.

    Didn't even know he'd turned pro. Was gifted that gold medal in Rio. Joe Joyce beat his ass.

    a lot of people underrate him on hhere because of som ko's in amatuers. but he has boxing skills/ability if he can protect his chin he could beat a lot of guys maybe even pick up a belt some day hes young.
