Mike Altamura and his newly formed Australian based MJA Entertainment have signed 2016 Gold Medalist Daniyar Yeleussinov of Kazakhstan.

Yeleussinov, a 25-year old southpaw welterweight, boasts a record of 246-14 in the amateurs.

“I am very excited because I want to be not only a renowned boxer in China or Asia, but a worldwide sporting star.” Yeleussinov said of the signing.

“I am motivated because turning professional is advancing to the next level. I love boxing and I want to become a world champion and be remembered as a legend.”

MJA head Mike Altamura indicated his desire to move Yeleussinov quickly, and to have him turn pro as early as May in China.

“I see him fighting for a regional belt by his second or third fight and contesting for a world title within two years.” Altamura said.

“You don’t need to protect or go to soft with guys who have this kind of elite talent."

Altamura signed Yeleussinov at the start of the year, and if Yeleussinov has made his pro debut since I must have blinked and missed it.

Still no sign of Yeleussinov in the pro ranks. Not sure what happened to him?
