INTERVIEW: Daniyar Yeleussinov rips Matchroom contract offer, considering retirement if he can’t land big fight by end of 2022
The 2016 Olympic gold medalist is quickly becoming disillusioned with pro boxing and says he will retire if opportunities don’t come his way soon.

Daniyar Yeleussinov is in somber spirits and has the look of a man who has been worn down by the bureaucracy and red tape of professional boxing.

“I don’t really like boxing, I just like to win,” the 31-year-old Kazakh welterweights tells Bad Left Hook.

“I need a promoter; I need to fight,” he continued. “If this doesn’t happen by the end of 2022 then I will have to retire. I am too good to be an ‘opponent’ for a promoter, I have proved this. I deserve a promoter who believes in me and is willing to fight for me.”

Yeleussinov (11-0, 6 KO) thought Eddie Hearn was that man, and that promoter. The Kazakh signed with Matchroom Boxing after turning over from a successful 2016 Olympics — grabbing gold in the 69kg division — but soon saw his career losing steam and attention despite cruising to a 10-0 record. He has fought once since leaving Hearn, recording a unanimous decision in Kazakhstan against the unknown Juan Hernan Leal, but is becoming frustrated by the phone not ringing.

“I would have stayed with Matchroom but their offer included slave-like conditions. It was worthless. I had to commit to just $100,000 for each fight, even if this was against some of the biggest names in the division; Conor Benn, Vergil Ortiz, or Errol Spence. These fights should earn me six or seven times that amount! And I had no right to increase my fee at all.

“There are lots of promoters that I would love to work with: Frank Warren and Al Haymon, but they have their own fighters and obligations. After all, I am a Kazakh; nobody seems interested in promoting me. We’re still waiting on an option that suits me. I guess these things take time.”

Like GGG found out no-one's really interested in promoting Kazakhs - there's far more lucrative fanbases to cater to... Like GGG Daniyar had a glittering amateur career but then has been held up in the pros due to the failure of his promoter to get him decent fights.. too much risk too little reward. GGG finally got his break at age 30/31 after years of promotion and legal difficulties, lucking out simply because HBO wanted a KO artist that they could afford on a shoestring given their shrinking Boxing budget... sadly Daniyars 31 already and it's looking increasingly like his break just ain't gonna come which is fkn crying shame.

[Silence]

Canelo will literally end this hypejob's career and give him 2 losses and 1 draw. If someone f**k up my record like that, I would hate him too.

I would've liked to see him face Conor Benn!

Nope... Just highlighting the sheer ******ity of you taking time out from your day blahblahblah.

Dude...you are ''taking time out'' to defend his honor with every non GGGroupie here

[_Rexy_]

that’s what I intended to type. 164. He was willing to fight others at 168 but only Ward would’ve had to drop to 164. We all know that those catch weight games are really just ways to duck a fight you don’t want.

155 or no fight. Just a junior middleweight!

exactly! That was Just another excuse to duck a fight while suckering in a dumb fan base into believing you wanted the fight.

Crickets when he jumped up to 164 to weight drain ****ing Junior though. Not sure how that’s not the biggest embarrassment on his ****ing resume.


I see people still talking about 164 for Ward who was fighting at 168, but crickets for weight draining a literal part time bum to 164 from 175

Much respect to GGG

How to become GGGroupie:

Be idiot.
Defend his honor.
Count his inaccurate jabs as landed.
Hopelessly wait a Pac-Marquez 4 moment.
Love Muratas, Kamils, Rolls, LeMehs, Brooks.
