It's great to see more young talent coming up. At 6'9, he'll carry on the modern giant heavyweight trend.

He's signed with the same promoter as Yeleussinov

I don't think too highly of Dychko, I see him struggling as a pro

This guy had absolutely horrific stamina in both the 2012 and 2016 Olympics.

I know the amateur system is designed to make fighters really pour it out in the time they're in there but still.

Was it against Joe Joyce where he really gassed? I thought someone was gonna have to throw in one of those rubber rings like they do when someone is drowning in a swimming pool.

Maybe in the pros he can fight at a measured pace. I would be surprised if he is a better fighter that David Price in the pros.
