    i see that Ievgen Khytrov, Ivan Golub and Sergey Deverychenko all Ukrainians are have some how turned american on boxrec since they have been pro?

    has this always been the case that when a ukrainian middleweight turns pro they automatically become american?

    is it a loopole in the law that automatically gives american citizenship to Ukrainian middleweights that go pro and if so why arent more people taken advantage of it

    You have touched on a topic of interest ....albeit indirectly, general: the inconsistent way the US allows access to its shores.
    For example, jamie kavanaghs dad, the late Gerard "hatchet" kavanagh, seemed to have no trouble flying in and out to support his son, despite having major criminal convictions, including for heroin dealing.
    Meanwhile guys like Martin Murray get barred for having been juvenile delinquents in their youth....sounds crazy to me......

    don't really care about that tbh, if he was able to get in fair play to him, maybe he has a better understanding of the law since he deals with it a lot:D

    but i don't know whats going on with boxrec trying to make every ukrainian middleweight american, i taught it took like 10 years to become a citizen , not one fight:lol:
