    Especially if he moves faster than some our Olympians. Okolie and Josh Kelly apart.
    Can you imagine hearn making yeleussinov vs Kelly as his debut fight for match room would be mental. I'd like to see that match up could sell it on the amatuer angle

      I doubt it will work. The vast majority of fans that attend Hearn’s shows in the UK are deluded casuals. The people at matchroom shows would be way more interested in overrated hype job’s like Conor Benn, Okollie etc.
      Look at the lack of interest a guy like Zolani Tete attracts when he fights over here. I remember at Golovkin-Brook when Casimero was over here fighting Edwards, no one in the crowd gave a ****, over half of them were at the bar or in the toilets snorting.
      They'd probably have to be a bit gimmicky.

      We had a few Mongolians that were semi-popular at a local level. Coming out in traditional dress and what not. Bayaar and Choi I think there names were.

      I would like Hearn to have a go at it. If he is that good, promote a foreign fighter over here. If we could get that done it would take the sport to the next level and take the play way from the States even more. Opening up more avenues for major events not just those that include Brits. Could be semi feasible with a strong domestic card of good ticket sellers. This is probably the only time to have a go.

      Warren isn't as savvy anymore. His man knocked someone out in 11 seconds in a world title fight. Hearn would never stop talking about that.

          Warren is constantly moaning about the lack of interest and appreciation for Tete; he seems blissfully unaware that he is supposed to be promoting him

            ''Words can't explain how excited I am to sign with Matchroom Boxing," said Yeleussinov.

            "I know Eddie [Hearn] along with my management team will work together to achieve my goal of becoming undisputed World champion.

            "I'm excited so to box in the US, the UK and at home in Kazakhstan and can't wait for my debut in New York on April 28 and beginning my professional journey."

            "I'm honoured to win the race to sign Daniyar," said Hearn. "He is an unbelievable talent and a fighter that can become a huge star all around the World.

            "We are looking to move him at a fast pace, beginning in New York in April before making his UK debut in the summer.

            "It's going to be a lot of fun and fight fans are going to love watching this young man go all the way to the top."

              Nice one! I'm on board. If he shows anything I'm going to get behind him. It's definitely the next stage in the evolution of the sport over here. Foreign fighters promoted over here and fighting here.

              Increased the amount of quality match ups we'll get to see that aren't at 5 a.m. ffs.

                He's at WW as well. Hopefully he can show himself to be the goods in the pro ranks. I'd love nothing more than another player in an already top heavy division.

                  You can bet your house on that. There aren't many guys if any at welterweight who could beat him now.

                    Yeah I remember Choi he won Prizefighter and iced Derry Matthews. He never really sold a ticket though.

                    The only way to build him would be too let him feast on Brits who are recognisable names, let him run through Conor Benn, Frankie Gavin etc and build him that way. Revert back to the old “Brit basher” gimmick they had with Katsidis, Baby Jake etc.

                      He beat Kelly relatively easily in the Olympic’s. I don’t think they’ll want to put Kelly anywhere near him tbh.
