Khurshid Tojibaev vs. Achiko Odikadze

Dubai 20/8/21

Khurshid Tojibaev returned to the ring in style over the weekend as he picked up a massive knockout victory over Achiko Odikadze.

The two men were competing on the D4G Promotions ‘Rising Stars’ event at the Conrad Hotel in Dubai on Friday, which was broadcast live on ESPN+ and IFL TV.

Tojibaev (5-0, 3 KOs) was back in action for the first time since December 2019, but the Uzbek sensation didn’t miss a beat, dominating the early rounds of the fight.

The end then came in round five, with Tojibaev landing a massive shot that send Odikadze to the canvas, with the referee waving off the fight and giving Tojibaev the win.

It means he has kept up his perfect professional record, with his stoppage win going alongside victories over Isaack Junior, Ivor Lastrilla, Irakli Shariashvili and Kryzsztof Rogowski earlier in his career.
