Peter Kahn, President of Fight Game Advisors, has signed Uzbek prospect Dilshodbek Ruzmetov of Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
The 24-year-old light-heavyweight turned professional in December 2021 following a heralded amateur career.
A member of the acclaimed Uzbekistan 2020 Olympic Team in Tokyo, Ruzmetov was also a Gold Medalist at the 2021 Asian Championships in Dubai, UAE and a Silver Medalist at the 2019 World Championships in Yekaterinburg, Russia.
Sporting a professional record of 3-0 with one knockout, the southpaw Ruzmetov is coming off a third-round stoppage of Adilet Batyraliev on June 16 in his hometown.
Stated Kahn about the signing, “I am very pleased to announce that I am working with Dilshodbek to guide him in his professional career. After competing in the 2020 Olympics for Uzbekistan, it was easy to see that his style is tailor made for the professional ranks. I am excited for what’s to come.”
Said Ruzmetov, “We are very strong and powerful in Uzbekistan when it comes to boxing. All of the top fighters have signed with big promoters and I truly believe that together with Peter Kahn, I’ll be the next fighter from my country to sign with a major promoter as I work towards becoming a world champion. With Peter’s experience and track record of success, I have no doubt the big opportunities will present themselves.”
Ruzmetov is currently being co-trained by Artem Kuzminov and Derik Santos in Boca Raton, Florida.
