If that's the case then it's possible to challenge validity of this contract in court later on.

Dream the AIBA already has covered all this stuff

And Lomachenko was not forced to sign, so I don't see why are you guys trying to find ways for him to get out of that.

Lomachenko was willing to sign, and he did that, it's his choice.

AIBA isn't going to put on any pro fights on until fall of 2013?? Does this mean all the guys they just signed will be inactive for at least a year?

Either he was forced or has lost his mind.
I think the former.

Italian superstars take APB to another level



Charismatic Lightweight (60kg) Domenico Valentino and Heavyweight (91kg) Clemente Russo have today signed five year contracts with AIBA Professional Boxing (APB), further underlining the popularity of the new programme amongst the world's top boxers.

Valentino said: "I was never convinced to turn pro until I was offered this opportunity by APB. I feel safer staying under the same governance and within my National Federation. I know how many fights I will have per year and how much I will get from them. There is no uncertainty, all is guaranteed. I can't wait for APB to start."

Russo- "Turning pro in boxing is never easy to decide, especially when you have had a successful Olympic boxing career", declared Russo. "I am thrilled with the career I have had so far, I know what pro-style boxing is about thanks to two seasons in World Series of Boxing, and I now feel ready and happy to join APB, knowing that I will never be left aside."

And about Fighters of the World Series of Boxing now having Pro Records this is one example.. American Terrell Gausha


Gausha Pro Record

5-2 (1 KO), one of his losses went at the hands of Ecuadorian Carlos Gongora who didnt do to well at the Olympics.

Carlos Gongora has a 2-0 record, having victories over Gausha and Yamaguchi Florentino (4-2) the older brazilian brother that got a bronce medal today.

At least Gausha has a win over the brasileiro Esquiva Florentino that is now at the Olympic final, Esquiva record is 2-1.

Lomachenko missed out on millions by doing this. Not too bright, if he chose AIBA willingly.

[SalSanchez]

[ShoulderRoll]

This is a huge conflict of interest.
