    I'm excited to see him for sure, since he's young, big and seems to be quite athletic. With a good trainer in North America or the UK polishing him he could go far. Good to see so many of the Olympic HWs turning over now, Clayton Laurent who beat Erik Pfeiffer in Rio is turning pro as well (according to boxrec).
