Kamil Laszczyk is a talented fighter, he beat Tevin Farmer. But of course he hasn't had the same ' American privilege in boxing' that Farmer has had.
He wasted the best years of his career, he seems to be on decline now Also, he had some health problems (with anemia I think) and conflict with promoters. Recently, he was down and hurt vs a guy who has 0 KO in his record! He won the rest of the rounds, though. This fight is not added to BoxRec because of some conflicts on Polish boxing scene.
Damn i didn't know these things. Seen him a few times earlier in his career, and just assumed he was another Ivan Dychko type i.e not getting opportunities.
His promoter and trainer still believe in him, 1-2 fights more and they want him to fight for EBU title. The current champion is Andoni Gago, who will defend his title against Gavin McDonnell, so against one of them, I suppose.

Re Dychko, he's the prime example of a guy who signed with then wrong team. His team have made him completely irrelevant by telling him to prepare for dates then not securing an opponent, putting no money into his competition and costing him numerous opportunities.
Fighters beware, the wrong promoter can kill your career (see also Rigondeaux and Caribe)

Not sure if he's ''unknown'' since he fights in the US, but Ali Akhmedov seems to be a decent prospect.

I'll add another Super-Middleweight fighter from Poland - Mateusz Tryc (10-0 6 KO), physically strong fighter, whose best win so far is against 21-2-1 Shakeel Phinn of Canada. Probably not a world title potential, but he's a solid EBU title level fighter.
Fun stuff - Tryc vs some Bosnian Roy Jones Jr, who probably drank too much of rakija before the fight:
Tryc vs Buatsi (amateur fight, Euro Championship quarterfinal):

Igor Jakubowski, already mentioned in the topic, Euro Championship silver medalist and 2016 Olympics participant, he clearly has potential but I'm not sure if he takes boxing seriously, he's more interested into being a kind of celebrity, I think. I'll leave a video of his last, brutal KO, on a very limited opponent though.

Is there someone who can tell more about Ihor Shevadzutskyi? He's 5-0 5 KO now, I'm pretty sure he was Ukraine HW champion in amateurs (defeated Viktor Vykhryst), so far he faced only very weak opposition around the world, apparently he's put in shape now (from 138kg/304lbs to 120kg/265lb) and fought twice in last 4 months.

His next fight is going to be interesting vs Stephan Shaw 13-0. It's good to see prospects facing each other like this.

Muhammadkhuja Yaqubov.
Tajik southpaw with a nasty left hook.
KK looked good in his debut, i notice he fought at cruiser despite being an accomplished am at shw
i guess he isnt going to do the whole GGG triple initial thing
He'll probably get a HW title shot quicker this route. The CW division is so weak now the likes of Usyk, Gassiev and Briedis have/are moving up.
If he's promoted well, he's got the potential and ability to unify pretty quickly. He'd easily beat the established guys like Dorticus, Glowaki, Makabu etc and is IMO leagues above the skillset of other prospects like Okolie or Riakhporhe. If he manages to do an Usyk, he could get a HW mandatory faster and with less risk than the straight HW route.

Know he has been mentioned here but Australian heavyweight Justis Huni fights in about 24 hours against a pretty decent opponent considering its just his 2nd pro fight and he is only 21. No idea if it will be on tv out of Australia (most likely not) but its probably a fun fight if you can find it.

Kunkabayev is managed by MTK so he will be in the rankings and pushing up the ladder quickly I would imagine. As you said Cruiserweight is one of those divisions that is not very well stacked at the moment but there are good prospects in the pipeline. If he is moved quickly (and probably will be given his amateur experience) then you will probably see him pushing for a World Title by 2022.

Ha. You should use the watchlist section to remember the names, thar's what I do anyway with any prospect that impresses me.

just randomly came across gurgen hovasnsyans name on the charlo-castano undercard......clicked and it revealed a 3-0 6'7 24 year old. kod 20-6 jesse byran (trev's brother?) in a couple
i couldnt find a pro fight from him, but there are some amateur ones - has a lot of am experience by the looks of it. took jalo to a split decision last year
he boxes a bit like fury, jiggles like him too lol. tbh i thought he was decent there, good speed and movement from a giant. will follow now to see how far he can go. i doubt hes a second coming but could be big and talented enough to get into fringe contending range at least
amazingly he's like 21-22 in that fight, looked more like 40

trevor's brother?! you really are one deep researcher... look at Jesse's picture! good one.
Also, he had some health problems (with anemia I think) and conflict with promoters. Recently, he was down and hurt vs a guy who has 0 KO in his record! He won the rest of the rounds, though. This fight is not added to BoxRec because of some conflicts on Polish boxing scene.
