    All four Super Heavy medallists at the 2016 summer Olympics have turned pro.

    I find that very intriguing. Will be interesting to see them develop and possibly cross paths in the Pro ranks.

    Gold - Tony Yoka, 3-0 (2 KO). Next fight: April 7th

    Silver - Joe Joyce, 1-0 (1 KO). Next fight: May 5th


    Bronze - Filip Hrgovic, 2-0 (2 KO). Next fight: January 27th
    Bronze - Ivan Dychko, 4-0 (4 KO). Next fight: TBA

      So he says... I've got a feeling he might have changed his mind by the 28th.

        I think Schaefer signed the gold and silver medalist to his company.

          Will be interesting to see how they do.

          Yoka lacks power and inside skills, not sure how he'll fare at the top level when against guys with the power to overwhelm him. He was very lucky to get the gold medal over Joyce. But he has a good trainer in Hunter so we'll see if he can overcome these deficiencies.

          Joyce isn't a young man he will be fast tracked apparently but he isn't active enough, he needs to fight more regularly. Looked OK on his debut, he broke the jaw, nose and ankle of his opponent apparently.

          Hrgovic is only 25 like Yoka so he has time to develop. He lost to Joyce in the WSB, was out worked and seemed to of gassed trying to keep Joyce off of him, so he needs to work on his stamina. But he might be the best of the bunch.

          Dychko has stamina issues too, he hasn't impressed me much so far as a pro.

            None of them have impressed me much tbh, the only one I can see having any major success is Hrgovic but I’m still very doubtful. I’d take Dubois over any of these tbh
