Queensberry Promotions have signed two top Uzbeks Javokhir Ummataliev and Asadkhuja Muydinkhujaev.
Light-heavyweight Ummataliev, only 20, won gold at the World Championships in Liverpool in September while welterweight Muydinkhujaev, a 24-year-old southpaw, won gold at the Paris Olympics and the 2023 World Championships. He holds wins over Yuri Falcao, Marco Verde, Omari Jones, and Roniel Iglesias among others, while the gifted Ummataliev, from Tashkent, has boxed in Baku, Brazil, Kazakhstan, and Thailand.
Queensberry’s Lee Eaton took to social media to write: “Absolutely buzzing to nail down Javokhir Ummataliev for Queensberry, this kid is up there to be the best amateur in the world exciting journey starts Saturday. UK debut coming early 2026."
