“I am very pleased to able to sign Jamshidbek, and to work with Ronson Frank and his company, Uprising Promotions. Jamshidbek is a very talented fighter who is television friendly, and we feel he has the\u00a0capability\u00a0to be a real player in the 140 pound division.\u00a0I saw his fight with Postol, and he won that fight in my opinion.\u00a0He should have been credited with three\u00a0knockdowns\u00a0but only got one.\u00a0He is an undefeated fighter in my mind.” said Banner Promotions President Artie Pelullo.<\/p>\n
“I am very happy to sign with Banner Promotions.\u00a0I am looking forward to fighting in America.\u00a0Fans will love my style, as I\u00a0try to take after Roy Jones and Manny Pacquiao.\u00a0I was inspired by with my countryman Murodjon Akhmadliev who won the unified super bantamweight world championship.\u00a0I have been getting good sparring with (IBF number-one ranked welterweight) Kudratillo Abdukakhorov,” said Najmitdinov.<\/p>\n
“We are very excited to work with Banner Promotions.\u00a0 Artie Pelullo has been in the game\u00a0a long time and has the\u00a0ability\u00a0to help get Jamshidbek to the highest level.\u00a0He is a very\u00a0talented\u00a0fighter with one disputed loss to a world champion. We are excited for this partnership that will create a lot of opportunities\u00a0to be seen nationally on all the major platforms out there,” said Ronson Frank, President of Uprising Promotions.<\/p>\n
Najmitdinov fought on July 25, 2013 with a unanimous decision over Botir Nosirov.\u00a0Najmitdinov won his first nine bouts before facing former world champion Viktor Postol.<\/p>\n
That bout, which took place on September 16, 2017, saw Jamshidbek drop Postol three times but was denied two of those\u00a0knockdowns, due to Postol fighting in front of his home-country fans.\u00a0Jamshidbek pushed the action\u00a0and established himself as one of the top-140 pounders in the world.\u00a0Since that fight, Jamshidebek has won five in a row, which includes his last bout when he won the WBC CIS and Slovac titles with a 1st round stoppage over Giorgi Khutsishvili on October 6th in Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n
“Against Postol, it was a fight that I took on short notice.\u00a0I wasn’t in the best of shape.\u00a0I want to fight him again.\u00a0I hope that he beats Jose Ramirez, because I want to fight him for the world championship when I get the rematch.\u00a0I just want to tell my fans\u00a0that the best is yet to come from me, and I am looking forward to getting started in the United States,” said Najmitdinov.<\/p>\n
