    Also for those who didn't know Yeleussinov won a gold medal in the Rio games at welterweight

    Nice. Another amateur stand out for the WW division after Rabii.

    I'm not confident with the source ( http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/olympic-gold-medalist-yeleussinov-signs-aussie-promoter-mja-389097 ). I've never heard of MJA Entertainment who he's apparently signed with. I'll have to wait and see, personally.

    If he does turn pro, then I will be elated. He's been a big favourite of mine since 2013 and Floyd Mayweather was filmed being so hyped and in amazement when he saw Yeleussinov at Rio 2016.

    If true, then my favourite 3 fighters since 2012 have turned pro in Yeleussinov, Rabii and Alimkhanuly. Daniyar is a very intelligent fighter, I'd like to see him learn to fight well on the inside, though.

    Edit: There's nothing on his instagram to indicate this, either.
