Makes a return on Saturday after a couple of years away.

Decent record but still a factor in the heavyweight division??

He's a big hard hitting lump but lacks refinement when fighting the savvier guys, I would've liked to have seen Fury, Joshua, Chisora in with him a couple of years back

In the mix for the WBA Regular I think.
Briggs and Oquendo are in similair positions to Ustinov...

He was a better kickboxer than boxer. He was also in far better shape back then....

He's huge, but fairly crude, easy to hit, and doesn't have much punching power for his size. Seems to have an okay chin (the loss to Pulev came after a big time beating) and can cause some issues with his frame and physicality. He would have a realistic chance against the Briggs-Oquendo winner, but I can't see him doing much against any serious champ or contender.

He'd make a decent comeback for Fury (superficially imposing, but in reality nothing much), especially considering their history.

How Fres Oquendo remains relevant is beyond me. Hasn't fought since July 2014, hasn't won since May 2014.... 3 years

Ustinov isn't great. Doubt he'd make a dent in any of the top guys. I'd take guys like Chisora, Whyte, Jennings, Perez, H.Fury etc... To beat him (fringe contenders).

He's down to face TBA, so I guess it'll be whichever Latvian wants a night off from Uber...

Ustinov hit Love with everything last night and he still struggled to put him down, his punches come in super slow motion, he makes George Foreman look like Roy Jones Jr
