Queensberry Promotions have teased more of an active foray outside the British market and Tuesday, announced they had signed two Uzbek elite amateur champions.

Welterweight Asadkhuja Muydinkhujaev and light-heavyweight Javokhir Ummataliev both scooped gold medals within their respective weight categories at the 2025 World Boxing Championships in Liverpool in mid-September. Two months on, the pair will make their professional debuts on the same card in Russia this weekend.

Describing the pair in a press release, they tip Olympic champion Muydinkhujaev to make an immediate impact with his 'blend of speed and precision,' while Ummataliev being a 'powerful and composed operator' lends itself well to success at light heavyweight.

"Queensberry believes these two exceptional prospects have the potential to rise fast, capture major titles, and become future stars of the sport."

Muydinkhujaev, a 24-year-old southpaw, amassed a 64-10 record during his eight-year amateur stint, flickering between junior middleweight and welterweight in recent years.

He pipped Matchroom-backed talent Omari Jones in the Olympic semi-finals last summer before outpointing Eddy Reynoso-trained prospect Marco Verde to win gold in Paris.

This year, he avenged an earlier split decision defeat in Brazil to hometown hero Yuri Falcao by a 4-1 split decision on Merseyside to collect his second gold of the campaign, having won an international tournament in Poland four months earlier.

He'll face Kazakh's 15-fight pro Aidos Tastayev (8-7, 7 KOs), a 26-year-old opponent often matched up against prospects and debutants in an early litmus test.

Elsewhere, an even younger prospect is bursting onto the 175-pound scene.

Tashkent's 20-year-old talent Javokhir Ummataliev has won gold in Brazil, Poland and the UK this year with minimal fuss and faces a six-round debut vs. Azerbaijan's 3-0 Rahim Aliyev, who returned to the unpaid code but exclusively been matched with debutants.

Both will feature on a card with unbeaten cruiserweight Timur Bibilov (9-0, 8 KOs) the main attraction Friday from Yunost Arena in the Russian city of Chelyabinsk.
