He won silver at the 2002 European championships so he has a pretty good amateur background. Here is pretty much all I could find. For some reason he didn't get picked up by one of the big German promoters and has had most of his fights in Ukraine.

I haven't seen him as a pro, but he fought as a heavyweight in the amateurs and I watched his final at the Europeans against Makarenko (who had moved up to heavyweight that year). Makarenko RSCOd him if I remember correctly on the 20 point rule. Hard to tell how good he was from that because Makarenko kept him away with his really long reach.

Also if he is content to fight in Ukraine against c-level competition then he is obviously not getting the kind of world class sparring he needs to develop as a pro. Even if he does have talent it may not be getting developed. Another example of the need for a good manager.

Whatever, I wish him luck.

He is as stiff as a rusty robot.IMO he will never be a true top gun. The lighter version of Valery Brudov. Well, a lighter and a stiffer version of Brudov.
