Bakhodir Jalolov

Two Olympic Gold Medals

Bakhodir Jalolov 18–0 (15 KOs) has one of the strongest amateur backgrounds among today’s professional heavyweights. The Uzbek southpaw competed at Rio 2016 and won super-heavyweight gold at both Tokyo and Paris, alongside world amateur championship success.

He began professional boxing in 2018 while continuing to compete as an amateur. His long jab and straight left helped produce a series of stoppages, with Jack Mulowayi, Curtis Harper and Chris Thompson among his opponents.

Developing as a Professional

Jalolov’s later opponents included Ihor Shevadzutskyi and Agron Smakici. He stopped Smakici in the seventh round in Manchester in May 2026.

On October 17, 2026, Jalolov outpointed Solomon Dacres over ten rounds at The O2 in London. He scored a fifth-round knockdown and won 99-91, 99-90 and 99-90 on the Daniel Dubois–Fabio Wardley rematch card. His next opponent has not been announced.
