Yeleussinov began boxing in 1999 and is trained by his father Marat Yeleussinov. Yeleussinov kickstarted his career with gold in the 2010 Asian Games, and enjoyed a remarkable 2013 when he triumphed in both the AIBA World Championships and the Asian Championships. Twice named the AIBA Elite Men’s Boxer of the Year, he takes inspiration from legendary figures including Serik Konakbayev, Bekzat Sattarkhanov, Oscar De La Hoya and Sugar Ray Leonard, and enjoys playing football, hockey and table tennis in his spare time.
Going into the 2016 Olympics, the captain of the Kazakhstan Boxing Team was the favorite to win his division, and proved his worth by winning all of his bouts via dominant 3-0 decisions including a win over top British prospect, Josh Kelly in the 2nd round.
