Bakhodir Jalolov joins Probellum with eyes on world heavyweight title
heavyweight Bakhodir Jalolov has signed a co-promotional deal with
Probellum and DiBella Entertainment. *The 27-year-old took gold at Tokyo 2020 but the giant from Uzbekistan is
now focused on landing world titles in the professional ranks.
Jalolov has a perfect 9-0 record and has stopped every single one of his
opponents to deliver a vicious warning shot to the rest of the heavyweight
division.
Standing at a massive 6’7”, the huge punching Jalolov – known as the ‘Big
Uzbek’ – fights Kamil Sokolowski over eight rounds on March 18 in Dubai as
part of Probellum Evolution

a double-header of world championship boxing.
But given Jalolov’s frightening 100% KO ratio, his next contest is not
expected to go the distance.
*“Everyone in the heavyweight division knows all about me and, deep down,
they know it is only a matter of time before I take over,” **declared
Bakhodir Jalolov.*
*“With Probellum and DiBella Entertainment promoting me, I will become
world heavyweight champion as soon as is possible but, first, I must take
care of business against Sokolowski on March 18 in Dubai.*
*“After that, news will start to spread about Bakhodir Jalolov and the
world will soon realise that I am a world heavyweight champion in waiting.”*
*“Bakhodir Jalolov is a giant of a man and this is a giant signing for
Probellum,”* *said Richard Schaefer, President of Probellum.*
*“Jalolov combines top-level amateur pedigree, phenomenal movement for man
of his size and knockout power. He is destined to become world heavyweight
champion and working with DiBella Entertainment, Probellum will be
delivering those opportunities for him.”*
*”There is no upcoming young heavyweight in the world who possesses the
physical advantages and skillset of the Big Uzbek. Power, speed and amazing
agility for a giant are the attributes that will allow Bakhodir to rise
quickly,” **said Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment. *
*“He will fight for the second time in Dubai on March 18 before a big
television exposure in the U.S. in June. The sky is the limit for the Big
Uzbek.”*
*“We are looking forward to a prosperous partnership with Probellum on
Bakhodir’s career,” **said* *Vadim Kornilov, Jalolov’s manager.*
*“We believe that he is currently the biggest young prospect in the
heavyweight division and our team will work hard to take him to the
Championship level.”*
Jalolov scored a shuddering 46 second knockout of Julio Cesar Calimeno in
December when he fought on Probellum’s debut show in Dubai and the the
Uzbek puncher is back in the UAE on March 18 as part of Probellum Evolution
