    Quite an interesting HW prospect

    I was supposed to post about this guy some time back but must of forgot.

    Anyway he is a Polish HW named Izu Ugonoh.
    6ft5, 230lbs, absolutely shredded 15-0 with 12 K.Os trained by Kevin Barry (also trains HW prospect Joseph Parker)


    He got a late start in boxing (24) but he was a kickboxer prior and competed in various K1 tournaments.

    Always hard to tell when they haven't fought anybody of note but I think Izu maybe one for the future.





    One of his earlier fights where he was much skinnier. He has improved drastically since.

      Good balance and footwork for a guy who came from kickboxing.

          I've heard about this guy, my boy Parker had good things to say about him. Based on those few short clips, he looks quite solid, I'll keep an eye on him.

              He used to be a CW, his biggest win is probably Lukasz Rusiewicz, a tough CW journeyman. He moved up in 2014. He has a good power and is quite athletic, I'm surprised nobody here have heard of him before.

                Still got a smile on her face. His bicep is the size of her head!

                  Good spot haven't heard of him before. Quick hands and feet, good fundamentals - fantastic work behind the jab in those clips. I like him. If he was from the UK there would be a big hype train behind him by now. Throw him in with the likes of helenius/Chisora for a european strap to see what he can really do.

                    Throw him in with Breazeale, Gerald Washington, or Charles Martin and let's see what he's made of.
