The 2020 Olympic champion, 28-year-old heavyweight from Uzbekistan Bahodir Jalolov (12-0, 12 KOs) is sure that he could fight any representative of the top 10 division right now. However, he prefers not to rush, as he continues to progress rapidly at this stage.
“I am sure that I can already be in the top 10 and fight with any of the top 10,” Jalolov said. “It’s just that everyone has their own time, and my time has not come yet. We are not in a hurry. I’m following my team’s plan and when the time comes I’ll be ready. I’m 28 years old, I haven’t even reached my peak yet. When that happens, I’ll do whatever it takes.”
“To be honest, at the moment I do not see the limit of my potential. I’m just getting started,” Bakhodir noted. — I am just getting into the realities of profiboxing and working with my coaches, constantly learning new things. We are just at the beginning of the journey to build a 12-round fuel tank. In general, I don’t know where my limit is, but I know that I will progress and become much better.”
On November 26 in Carson (USA), Jalolov won his third victory in 2022, knocking out Curtis Harper in the 4th round.
