I don't pretend to know a lot about him but I do like that, in the current landscape of heavyweight boxing, he would be considered young. He's 27 years old and by the time he gets some more solid experience all of the current guys will be very close to the ends of their careers or retired. Boxrec tells me that he has some good power and he has beaten a few names I recognize. I am concerned that after staying busy with 19 fights in his 4 1/2 years as a pro he has not fought once this year. I don't know if it is injury, management issues or Ukraine's war with Russia but it's not a good sign for an up and coming fighter when he stops fighting.
Impossible to say at this point. He can clearly bang but so can many in the division, power alone isn't going to do it as the likes of Makhmudov and Ajabga have shown. I remember seeing some of his early fights and not being overly impressed but it will come down to how he improves as he matures into his prime.
+ ok fundamentals + ok ring iq + power + bodyshots - mobility, he really needs to work more with his body and he also has problems to find the right distance. he misses a lot of shots, especially when he's gassed a bit - **** gas tank - defense (improved but still bad) Well he won't be the next Klitschko or Povetkin but he is still young and has potential. He will pass the TOP20 but I'm not sure about the TOP10.
He's got a great left hook. You can hear and see the thudding power when it lands. If he lands that on almost anybody they are going to sleep.
Looks like he has serious power the KO of Ustinov was frightening but we've seen big hitters like Ajagba and Makhmudov be exposed for their lack of skills. Power alone won't get you to the top. I remember checking out Sirenko early on and not thinking too much of him, but until he steps up and fights someone like Takam and is actually tested and forced out of first gear it's hard to know how good or bad he is. But I suspect he might struggle when he steps up. Offensively impressive but defensively he has little to no head movement, just relies on high guard and he is average sized in this era of 2m tall, 240lbs plus super heavies.
As unproven as he is, i'd still rate him about sixth on Fury's resume and higher on Wilders, should they fight him.
