Yep, he's a very special talent, probably the most impressive on the Kazakh team, which speaks for itself.
Apparently he might be signing with Di Bella, which would mean he's on Haymon's side, skillwise he's levels above anybody currently at 147.Comment

Any crazy ass amateur record or never dropped stat or anything for this guy or the other guy who I'm seeing mentioned by TS now?Comment

Great news that he is turning over so young.
A real pro boxing culture developing in countries Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan could be huge for our sport.Comment

Yeleussinov, who's the welterweight, is one of the most impressive amateurs I've seen in recent years, he can do everything in the ring. People on here know how much I rate Spence and Thurman but if Yeleussinov turns pro, those guys are in trouble because skillwise they're not even close to this boy.
He would have a Lomachenko-esque impact on the pro game imoComment

Who's the guy who's gonna be the Manny, Floyd or Oscar of these Eastern Euro or as I prefer to say "Russian States" guys in the US? I can't believe one of these guys won't become mainstream at some point with so many highly talented guys from these countries coming to the states, but who's gonna be that guy? Who's got some personality or a persona that can catch fire, can speak English & has a style that'll attract the masses?Comment
