Bakhodur Usmonov (born 12 December 1997) is a Tajikistani professional boxer. As an amateur, he won a gold medal at the 2019 Asian Boxing Championships and competed at the 2020 and 2024 Summer Olympics.
Usmonov won the light-welterweight gold medal at the 2019 Asian Championships[3] and, using a change in regulations which allowed boxers who had limited professional contests to compete in amateur events, claimed bronze in the same weight division at the 2023 IBA World Championships.[4]
Professional career
Usmonov made his professional debut on 24 December 2020, defeating Vildan Minasov by majority decision over six rounds in Moscow, Russia, despite being knocked to the canvas in the first round.[5]
On 23 May 2025, he won the vacant WBA Gold lightweight title with a third round knockout of Albert Pagara at the Tennis Palace and Water Sports Complex in Dushanbe, Tajikistan.[6]
At the same venue on 22 July 2025, Usmonov defeated Christopher Mouafo via unanimous decision.[7]
In his first 12-round contest, he recorded a majority decision win over Maxi Hughes at Duty Free Tennis Stadium in Dubai on 12 December 2025.[8]
Usmonov lost his unbeaten professional record when he was stopped in the 12th and final round by Artur Subkhankulov at the Wrestling Palace in Ufa, Bashkortostan, Russia, on 24 April 2026. He was knocked to the canvas twice in the 10th round, once in the 11th and then a further time in the 12th, at which point the referee waved the fight off.[9][10]
