One day ahead of their fights in California on DAZN, former Uzbek Olympians and current top pro prospects Shakhram Giyasov and Murodjon Akhmadaliev have signed co-promotional deals with Matchroom Boxing USA and World of Boxing.
Junior welterweight Giyasov (7-0, 6 KO), 25, will face veteran Emanuel Taylor (20-5, 14 KO) in a 10-round bout.
Super bantamweight Akhmadaliev (5-0, 4 KO) is already the mandatory challenger for the winner of Friday night’s 12-pound title unification between Daniel Roman and TJ Doheny.
“I’m delighted to welcome these two outstanding young talents to the Matchroom Boxing USA team,” said promoter Eddie Hearn. “Both are unquestionably future world champions and both have electric styles that will light up venues and broadcast platforms around the world. I’m looking forward to seeing them tomorrow night at the Forum and live on DAZN.”
