I'd advise him not to! He'll get murdered by the pro's,his style is terrible,he doesn't do much really,he's very limited and his punch output is ****ing terrible.

Idk, he beat Joseph Parker back in the day and has good potential, possible future champ

Joseph Parker will be found out soon.Yoka didn't/doesn't look like his style would suit to the pro ranks.If he does change codes then good luck to him,that gold medal will help him get a sh.it ton of money signing pro terms.

Found out by who exactly? the roided up flat footed robot or the american flat footed chicken legs?

PArker wasnt all that back in the amateurs. Nothing special at all.

Yoka vs Joyce rematch in the pro's please

Then we will see who was really landing in their fight

i believe he said he was planning to turn pro after the olympics

he has some good skills but he's been stopped a few times already even as an amateur and his record looks a lot better on paper than it does if you actually watch most of his biggest fights, in which he was often quite "lucky" to get the decision. he has definitely been favoured by AIBA and they might yet find some way to convince him to remain amateur

on the other hand, it'd be cool to have an anthony joshua-like phenomenon across the channel hopefully breathing a bit of life into the fairly dead french pro scene

now, hrgovic - that's a guy i can see doing some damage in the pros

Yeah Hrgovic is a beast, he on the other hand got robbed alot, and i thought he beat Yoka in their fight in Rio
I think Yoka would make a great pro, its was the Heavyweight scene needs, hes pretty quick on his feet and has fast hands so hell probably be a good addition to the division

[John Locke]

I don't follow the amateurs too closely, but this guy has gotten gift after gift everytime I've seen him fight.

Hrgovic is the guy I wanna see turn pro, now he's for real and cut for the pro game.

Don't judge the young fella too fast.

He's only 23 but already world champion and olympic champion, that's a hell of an amateur pedigree.
That's as much as what the whole US males won in 12 years with Ward and Andrade.

Joshua didn't look great in London's olympics, Wilder looked like sht in ams, and get KTFO.

Yoka just like those two exemples can put some muscles and grow up with pro training.
