Olympic gold medalist Daniyar Yeleussinov (9-0, 5 KOs) will face former unified champion Julius Indongo (23-2, 12 KOs) for the IBF Intercontinental welterweight title on November 27 behind closed doors at Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, Florida, live on DAZN. Indongo represents a major step up in class for Yeleussinov, having taken on Terence Crawford for the undisputed super lightweight title in August 2017 as the unified IBF and WBA champion.
In the main event, bitter rivals Daniel Jacobs and Gabe Rosado clash in a true grudge match at super middleweight.
There is a bunch of top amateur talent coming up right now. 2x Gold medalist here, 3 x World Amateur champ there. All with forgettable and hard to pronounce names. There were guys like this 5 years ago and you still dont hear about them.
Just saying these guys are going to have to be flashy good to make it in the pro ranks. Sounds high-risk low reward fighting these foreign elite amateurs.
About time Rosado got his fight. Jacobs ran out of options.
Should be a good match up.
Uhhhm … No.
Try early blow out win for Daniyar
