The Professional Boxing Debut of Gold Medalist Daniyar Yeleussinov | The Kazakh Wonder

Daniyar is the most sought after welterweight in the world after he claimed the Gold at the 2016 Rio Olympics..

The Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing promoted young fighter has immense hype behind him, and he is being built up properly with a debut against another undefeated up and comer. Technically Daniyar is a 0-0 prospect, but like the Silver Medalist in Joe Joyce... skills can carry one far in a somewhat stagnant division.

With titles and belts held up for the next year at least, welterweight needs more expectation from young prospects, and this young Kazakh will surely garner some attention. Eddie Hearn was raving about the skills of this young man, and any fan of the sport can see this guy can fight! The footwork, speed, and mostly angles Yeleussinov utilizes will take him to the top of the champion ranks.

The fights begin soon, and it is your opportunity to witness the rise of a true Olympian. Don't regret missing out on the next Sugar Ray Leonard, this is a solidified Gold Medalist entering the professional ranks with the biggest UK promotion behind him... expect fireworks, and expect the new generation to show their stuff tonight. 'Big Baby' Miller and Daniel 'The Miracle Man' Jacobs will also be headlining the Matchroom event in Brooklyn, New York... and to be honest, I expect knockouts. Brooklynites get the hype going, this is gonna be one to remember!
