Bakhodir Jalolov, a two-time Olympic gold medalist from Uzbekistan, has expressed his ambition to take on the current absolute world champion in the super heavyweight category, Oleksandr Usyk of Ukraine. In an interview with The Ring, Jalolov made it clear that with a few months of training, he would be ready to challenge both Usyk and Anthony Joshua.
“Give me two or three months. If I train a little, I will be ready for the fight with Usyk and Anthony Joshua. I think these confrontations will be interesting for the fans. They are also Olympic champions like me, and they have achieved great success in professional boxing. Watch out, I am on my way,” Jalolov said.
Jalolov, who claimed gold medals at the 2021 and 2024 Olympics, has a perfect record in his professional boxing career, having knocked out all 14 of his opponents. The Uzbek boxer is set to face Ukrainian Ihor Shevadzutskyi in Astana on April 5.
Oleksandr Usyk, the 2012 Olympic champion, remains undefeated in the professional ring with a record of 23-0. He holds the title of the absolute world champion in the super heavyweight division, solidifying his place at the top of the boxing world.
