Oleksandr Usyk to fill 35.000-seats arena in his 5th pro fig

[Boxing Writer]

2012 Heavyweight Olympic Gold Medalist Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (4-0, 4 KO) will headline big boxing show, which will be held on the 35.000 Arena Lviv on September 27 in Lviv, Ukraine - http://boxingnews.com.ua/uk/novini/8545 ... oj-v-lvove
This article doesn't mention his potential opponents, but from my sources, BoxRec #18 Danie Venter is one of the options.
It will be quite impressive if Usyk fills 35.000-seats football stadium in his 5th pro fight (and I'm quite confident he will do it)

Impressive

Definitely not a free entry. I'll post a link on tickets info when K2 officially announces the fight

[Sklar]

He looks like a bad guy from a low budget Jackie Chan flick.

[punchoutsb]

He's my favorite prospect in the whole sport. Future world champion.

I'm a fan of this cat already. I think its great he allows a mentally handicapped person to cut his hair to show support to that community.

[Chepppaaa]

he is the future of the c-div and will arguably become the biggest star the div has ever seen since prime david haye

That's a traditional Cossack haircut mate

I'm pretty sure he was being facetious. Usyk will no doubt become the top Cruiserweight. I think he can even move up to Heavyweight later in his career and win a title there. This guy is the real deal.

[black panther]

This guy is the real deal.

He's Holyfield?

This guy is the real deal.

A Ukrainian version yeah!

He should grow a Cossack 'tache too.

[scallum]

How old is he ? Them Ukrainians are straight up producing top notches.

[Woldemar]

27 years.

He was an elite amatuer and fought in WSB so should be fast tracked read he wants to beat Holyfields record of least fights to win a cruiser weight title

I love the attitude of these kids who don't want to mess around that seem to be popping up from various countries. For too long have we seen fighters treading water on the pretense of developing experience by fighting nobody. Now we have guys like Inoue, Lomachenko, Usyk and Tanaka who are all setting off with the intention that they are THAT good that they just want to prove it.

All of his pro fights are up on youtube as well. Make sure and check them out. He's very crisp with his shots. I really think he's the future of the Cruiserweight division, and one of the few guys there that I think can successfully campaign at Heavy post-Klitschko.
