Daniyar Yeleussinov signing with Matchroom

I went to that Andrade vs African Dude card in Boston, Yeleussinov was by far the most impressive fighter on that card.

He's fighting Silverio Ortiz next. I hope they start stepping him up soon. Time is not on his side. They need to keep him more active this year at the very least.

Good point especially at this stage as well thinking about it, might be good down the line though I expect both to get near the top of the division so it could happen down the road for sure, along way down the road probably though.

Can you imagine hearn making yeleussinov vs Kelly as his debut fight for match room would be mental. I'd like to see that match up could sell it on the amatuer angle He beat Kelly relatively easily in the Olympic’s. I don’t think they’ll want to put Kelly anywhere near him tbh.

They'd probably have to be a bit gimmicky. We had a few Mongolians that were semi-popular at a local level. Coming out in traditional dress and what not. Bayaar and Choi I think there names were. I would like Hearn to have a go at it. If he is that good, promote a foreign fighter over here. If we could get that done it would take the sport to the next level and take the play way from the States even more. Opening up more avenues for major events not just those that include Brits. Could be semi feasible with a strong domestic card of good ticket sellers. This is probably the only time to have a go. Warren isn't as savvy anymore. His man knocked someone out in 11 seconds in a world title fight. Hearn would never stop talking about that. Yeah I remember Choi he won Prizefighter and iced Derry Matthews. He never really sold a ticket though. The only way to build him would be too let him feast on Brits who are recognisable names, let him run through Conor Benn, Frankie Gavin etc and build him that way. Revert back to the old “Brit basher” gimmick they had with Katsidis, Baby Jake etc.

He's at WW as well. Hopefully he can show himself to be the goods in the pro ranks. I'd love nothing more than another player in an already top heavy division. You can bet your house on that. There aren't many guys if any at welterweight who could beat him now.

''Words can't explain how excited I am to sign with Matchroom Boxing," said Yeleussinov. "I know Eddie along with my management team will work together to achieve my goal of becoming undisputed World champion. "I'm excited so to box in the US, the UK and at home in Kazakhstan and can't wait for my debut in New York on April 28 and beginning my professional journey." "I'm honoured to win the race to sign Daniyar," said Hearn. "He is an unbelievable talent and a fighter that can become a huge star all around the World. "We are looking to move him at a fast pace, beginning in New York in April before making his UK debut in the summer. "It's going to be a lot of fun and fight fans are going to love watching this young man go all the way to the top." Nice one! I'm on board. If he shows anything I'm going to get behind him. It's definitely the next stage in the evolution of the sport over here. Foreign fighters promoted over here and fighting here. Increased the amount of quality match ups we'll get to see that aren't at 5 a.m. ffs.

Warren isn't as savvy anymore. His man knocked someone out in 11 seconds in a world title fight. Hearn would never stop talking about that. Warren is constantly moaning about the lack of interest and appreciation for Tete; he seems blissfully unaware that he is supposed to be promoting him :dunno:

Nice addition for Hearn :ROCK:

I doubt it will work. The vast majority of fans that attend Hearn’s shows in the UK are deluded casuals. The people at matchroom shows would be way more interested in overrated hype job’s like Conor Benn, Okollie etc. Look at the lack of interest a guy like Zolani Tete attracts when he fights over here. I remember at Golovkin-Brook when Casimero was over here fighting Edwards, no one in the crowd gave a f*ck, over half of them were at the bar or in the toilets snorting.

This guys is the boss! He should get train along side GGG.. This is the the next Kazakh guy who's gonna make big waves.

Where will he fight? America? As much of a renaissance as boxing is enjoying in Britain. It would be something new if a foreign fighter could be brought on and actually draw. Americans don't mind watching two foreigners go at it. Neither do Germans. I do think if we had a Golovkin it could have worked. It would have to be someone like that. Someone just laying waste to people but even then I'm not even sure how you do it. I doubt it will work. The vast majority of fans that attend Hearn’s shows in the UK are deluded casuals.

Everyone teying to get in on the Kazakh craze because of GGG. The reality is theyll never come close.

Yep. Proper legit elite amateur Hope Hearn treats him right and doesnt piss about in his first 10 fights. He can be stepped up quick Yeah this guy should be moved like an Usyk, Derevyanchenko, Bivol etc, he should be a legit contender in 10 or so fights. I hope he doesn’t sign with Hearn tbh, Hearn has no pull in America and aside from AJ he hasn’t exactly been successful at building a fighter from scratch in the pro’s. He’d be much better going with Arum, Haymon, ODLH etc. Or if he wants to go to a European promoter sign with K2.

Yeah probably but depending how many dates they have in the US im sure he will make it onto UK shows as well This is what I'd be trying to do if I were Hearn, London to NY ain't a long trip nowadays, build some of these prospects up on both sides of the Atlantic. Get these guys as much exposure as possible and if they hit it big you will have their fans traveling from NY to England and vice versa for big time fights once they make it there

Id assume hes going to the Matchroom USA side of things Yeah probably but depending how many dates they have in the US im sure he will make it onto UK shows as well

This guys legit, beat both Josh Taylor and Josh Kelly in the amateur’s Yep. Proper legit elite amateur Hope Hearn treats him right and doesnt piss about in his first 10 fights. He can be stepped up quick

Id assume hes going to the Matchroom USA side of things Makes sense. I suppose but would still like to see him here - would be a bit of a change. Especially if he moves faster than some our Olympians. Okolie and Josh Kelly apart.
