Viral Tajikistani singer and actor, Abdu Rozik just had his boxing debut against Erali Boyqobilov at Social Knockout 3. Although Boyqobilov started aggressively and had Rozik in a fix, the contest ended in a draw leaving the latter furious. In the meantime, while Rozik grumbled at Boyqobilov’s performance, the boxing world considered the 3’8″ tall fighter a fitting match for Hasbulla and Jake Paul!

Abdu Rozik vs. Erali Boyqobilov was an exhibition bout scheduled for three 1-and-a-half-minute rounds. While Erali maintained a comparatively better stance and landed some good shots, Rozik looked deficient in basics. However, after the fight ended, Rozik wanted to exact money from Boyqobilov, believing he had made the latter famous by sharing the ring with him.

He [was] just punching in the back of [my] head. And he thinking he win?” complained Rozik in a rant. Along these lines, he expressed that he was not contented with three rounds. “No. Also, I need six rounds. They’re making three. Why? I wanted six rounds,” said Rozik before demanding financial compensation from his opponent.

“He has to pay because I am doing him famous,” Rozik argued. So, even though he wanted a rematch with six rounds, the Tajikistani clarified he would not rematch Erali until he was paid.  “He has to pay me for making him famous because I am bigger than him,” Rozik concluded.

But, since Abdu Rozik had already called out internet sensation Hasbulla prior to his boxing debut in Dubai, boxing fans demanded Rozik vs. Hasbulla. However, Jake Paul’s name was somehow attached to Abdu as well.

Baffled boxing world reacts to Abdu Rozik’s boxing debut

What’s your perspective on:

Is Jake Paul just a hype machine, or does he have real boxing talent?

Have an interesting take?

Ahead of the debut in Dubai, overconfident Rozik, besides predicting a knockout victory against Erali, threatened Hasbulla. Rozik, who trained three hours every day, in Khabib Nurmagomedov’s language, announced that after Erali, he would “smash” Hasbulla. So, on that note, a fan hoped Hasbulla would accept the fight against Rozik. Likewise, they asked Hasbulla to “stop ducking.”

On the other hand, Jake Paul is known for handpicking opponents with no solid background in boxing. For that reason, a fan, in a sarcastic tweet, considered Rozik to be Jake Paul’s next potential opponent. “Jake paul is probably scheduling this fight next,” they wrote.

Meanwhile, having seen Rozik struggle against Erali, one was confident that Hasbulla would defeat Abdu.

On the other hand, a person did not appreciate that two individuals who suffer from growth hormone deficiency were encouraged to publicly display their fight. So, they wondered who would “sanction” such a fight.
