He's got the stallion pedigree that I would expect from most Eastern European Fighters.
But I think his age and skills might be a curse.
He is 30 years old, combined that with skills and massive punching power, it means that most American promoters and fighters will avoid him like the plague.
Then they'll say as they do with GGG "he hasn't fought anyone!" Of course, he hasn't fought anyone cause you've been ducking him.

Bizarrely, he's signed up with Haymon I reckon Haymon will match him with Stevenson, let Stevenson get his shit pushed in and out the other end, then ride The Steamroller to glory and $$$$$$$$$ After May 2, the biggest fight by far to be made in boxing is gonna be Artur Beterbiev vs Sergey Kovalev Beterbiev's only had 8 pro fights. And none have went beyond 4 rounds. He'll need to get more pro experience in before he faces Sergey, but its one for the future That's an insanely insane match up Two savage brutal monsters Think Tyson v Tyson

That's one of the big problems with boxing. It is owned by promoters who view their fighters as their property. Such an attitude is not good for the development of the sport but it is good the the development of mega fights like Mayweather and Pacquaio.
The ownership of fighters and the control of the fighter by a promoter stifles the natural rivalries that once made boxing a 'neighborhood' sport. It seems to me that the place of organized crime once held by 'The Mob' which kept great fighters like Joey Giardello from a title match for years has been taken by the now 'legitimate' promoter.
