Bahodir Jalolov will not fight on the night of Usyk-Fury

Bahodir Jalolov's bout against Dilan Prashovich, set for May 18 in Saudi Arabia, has been called off, as confirmed by Jalolov himself to QALAMPIR.UZ.

Jalolov explained, "I'll participate in a small tournament in Tashkent to refine my skills in amateur boxing. Post-Paris Olympics, I'll shift my focus to the professional circuit. Next year, I intend to relocate my family to the USA temporarily to pursue more bouts in the professional arena."

Notably, Ukrainian Alexander Usyk and British Tyson Fury will enter the ring in the central fight of the professional boxing night on May 18. The winning boxer becomes the absolute champion in the super heavyweight category.

Furthermore, in February, the chairman of the General Directorate of Entertainment of Saudi Arabia, Turki Al-Sheikh, announced that a special belt would be awarded to the winner of the fight called "Battle of the Century".
