I must admit I'm not that up to date or knowledgeable about the Amateur scene, anyone know anything about this guy? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/55677888
Yep I know about this guy, he went to Aston University to study a degree in Economics or Economics and Management, and took up boxing there. He's a natural athlete and won the 2019 ABAs. I think he's the prime candidate to be the Super Heavyweight at 2024, as I expect big Scott Forrest to turn over. Think Horsea Stewart (another Heavyweight from the Midlands area) is turning over soon too.
Cheers pal, hell of a name if he does prove to be the real deal but he's in for a rough ride with @Jurgen should he not be!
He's crap. Winning the ABAs is very overrated these days as most of the GB squad don't even enter So it's like the equivalent of being 4th or 5th best in your weight class in just England.
I can smell Heavyweight pudding potential with a great degree of accuracy after 5-8 pro fights. Certainly won't forget this name when he eventually turns pro.
Just signed to STN sports recently which is headed up by Paul Ready the ex-matchroom matchmaker. Other fighters managed by them include Kal Yafai, Callum Smith and Dalton Smith. So based on the close ties with Matchroom my guess is if he medals he will turn over and get the big Matchroom Marketing treatment. He certainly has all the ingredients. Most on here seem to think unless your the next Mike Tyson your worth nothing. But he will go on to make a few quid and have a solid career if matched correctly.
I don't have a clue about him, but surely to be "the next" Anthony Joshua, your boxing ability has to be packaged with marketability. Despite the coolest name I've ever heard, I doubt the suits of the corporations will be falling over each other with the biggest boxes full of cash for this guy.
Born in Russia, Jamaican heritage, British nationality Delicious Orie! I can see a tie in with Maccy Ds Can he fight though?
