Was a very concussive puncher in the amateurs and had Joshua down en route to a points win. Comes from a kickboxing background and has sparred with the likes of Price, Fury, Haye, Vitali, Wlad etc.
Works the body well for a heavyweight and throws a nice right hand but is open to shots when he throws out his jab. Not too sure on his chin and I'd hazard a guess that stamina is going to be a big problem.
I hear he's fighting McDermott at the end of the year, should be a good test. We have a good heavyweight scene domestically at the moment, I hope several match-ups happen in the near future.
