    Having put his Olympic dreams behind him, cruiserweight boxer David Nyika now wants to cut a swathe through the professional ranks

    Having put his Olympic dreams behind him, cruiserweight boxer David Nyika now wants to cut a swathe through the professional ranks


    Nyika pulled out of next year's Paris games chiefly because his pro training doesn't prepare him well for the short, sharp Olympic bouts.

    Unbeaten in professional fights, Nyika wants to gather experience with a full-on calendar.



    Nyika expects to have two more pro bouts before the end of the year.
