Exciting News: Muhammadkhuja Yaqubov Joins Forces with Sampson Boxing in New Promotional Deal
Muhammadkhuja Yaqubov, the dynamic super featherweight ranked No. 4 by the WBC hailing from Isfara, Tajikistan, is embarking on an exciting new chapter in his boxing journey. He has teamed up with the renowned Australian manager, Jim Kambosos, and the esteemed promoter, Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing, setting the stage for a thrilling career ahead.
The plan is to bring Yaqubov to the United States for top-notch training and more frequent fights, all with the ultimate goal of securing a rematch with WBC champion O’Shaquie Foster. With an impressive record of 21 wins, 1 loss, and 11 knockouts, Yaqubov is gearing up to make a comeback after a year-long hiatus in a highly anticipated match against Zafar Parpiev, another talented Tajikistani fighter.
Having already clinched various titles throughout his career, including the WBC International super-featherweight belt and the WBO Youth lightweight title, Yaqubov is no stranger to success in the ring. Despite a setback against Foster in a close fight last year, Yaqubov has shown resilience by bouncing back with three consecutive wins, proving his mettle as a true contender in the super featherweight division.
Expressing his aspirations, Yaqubov shared, “I want to realize my dream in America. I want to be a world champion, and I want to do it in America.” His determination is palpable as he looks forward to working with his new team and making his mark in the boxing world.
Manager Kambosos, who steered his son George to a unified lightweight title, exudes confidence in Yaqubov’s abilities. “He’s going to stay active, secure his visas, and train in the States with top fighters,” Kambosos affirmed, emphasizing the goal of securing the long-awaited rematch with Foster.
Promoter Lewkowicz, known for discovering exceptional talent worldwide, echoed Kambosos’ optimism. “Yaqubov is a highly talented fighter from Central Asia who just needs top training in the U.S. to reach his potential,” Lewkowicz remarked, highlighting the bright future that lies ahead for Yaqubov in the super featherweight division.
Yaqubov’s journey back to the top begins with his upcoming bout against Parpiev, marking the start of a promising chapter in his quest for boxing glory.
