Any 2016 Olympians news?

Any of the US guys? Shakur Stevenson finalised his move yet? Baldares? Gary Russell? Hernandez? I know Buatsi is wanting to finish his degree before turning over. Bit annoying but respect the decision. Joe Joyce was supposed to be turning over too Also looking out for Columbian Martinez who would make a great pro. I thought promotional companies would have been all over them. Seems a bit quiet unless im just not in the loop

Alimkhanuly was he the one who battered Anthony Fowler? He looked very good. Fowler himself should be decent in the pro game.

I agree. I haven't heard anything about Yoka turning pro. He would be a big flop. Its another one i was mistaken on tbh. He has announced his intention for turing pro, but not signed a deal yet as far as i can see

Yeah he looked good. Seemed a shoe in for GBP to me with the pull they have in the Mex-Am community I agree. I haven't heard anything about Yoka turning pro. He would be a big flop.

I thought Carlos Balderas would have been signed by either Golden Boy or Top Rank by now. I can't imagine he hasn't received offers. This kid has professional star potential. Yeah he looked good. Seemed a shoe in for GBP to me with the pull they have in the Mex-Am community

I was trying to remember Alimkhanuly (Alan Connelly according to BBC commentators). There was another who was widely reported to be turning pro, but wasnt. That name is escaping me as well. val barker trophy winner, hasanboy dusmatov? for some reason golden gloves announced that they'd signed him and then he came out and denied it a little while later and i've heard no news since

Yeah seems strange. He is turning pro, and there is only one promoter he should be signing with so wonder whats the hold up? I wonder if Frank sees the value in having a stake in the british HW scene and has offered big money up front Strange. Joyce could be out every month and be in position to fight Chisora, Whyte et al within 18 months

I thought Joyce would actually have had a fight by now. He could be really active if he signed with Hearn. Yeah seems strange.

Anyone got a link to the details of this. I hadn't heard this if its correct. Been a lot of speculation last I heard, but nothing official. I take that back mate. I saw a snippet on google from when Mayweather made that tweet. It turned out to not be true shortly afterwards

Ah just googled and Stevenson is signed with Mayweather like he was expected to. Must have missed that. Any debut date in mind?

How about Eastern Euros? Plenty of talent there but im not as hopeful of them turning over. There was one guy whos name i cant remember who turned pro. Obviously Conlan signed with Arum, has his debut at MSG arena, and Paddy Barnes is fighting on that same bill (cant remember if he is with Arum as well)
