Muhammadkhuja Iskandarovich Yaqubov (born 31 March 1995) is a Tajikistani professional boxer who has held the WBC International super-featherweight title since 2018. As of October 2020, he is ranked as the world's fifth best super-featherweight by the WBC and tenth by the WBO.[2]

Amateur career

Yaqubov started boxing at the age of 10 and reached the rank of Candidate for Master of Sport (кмс).[3]

Professional career

Yaqubov turned professional in late 2015, signing a deal with RCC Boxing Promotions.[3] He soon made his debut on 12 December of that year, defeating fellow debutant Vladimir Terekhov in Saint Petersburg.[4] After three more victories he received his first title shot on 15 November 2016, and defeated Nikolai Buzolin by eighth-round technical knockout (TKO) to win the WBC–ABCO Continental lightweight title.[5] He retained it three months later against veteran Yogli Herrera by way of unanimous decision (UD).[6] In his next fight he picked up the vacant WBO Youth lightweight title; his opponent Feruzbek Yuldashev didn't answer the bell for the fifth round due to injury.[7] Two months later he successfully defended it, scoring three knockdowns en route to a first-round TKO of Japanese challenger Daiki Ichikawa.[7]

On 10 February 2018, Yaqubov defeated young prospect Mark Urvanov by UD in Yekaterinburg, adding the WBA Continental and IBF Baltic super-featherweight titles to his résumé.[5] He won the vacant WBC International super-featherweight title a few months after that, stopping Víctor Alejandro Zúñiga in the first round with a shot to the solar plexus on 19 August.[8] In his first defense of the WBC International belt in February 2019, he decisioned Emanuel López at the KRK Uralets.[9] He also outpointed NABF champ Abraham Montoya and former world champ Tomás Rojas in subsequent title bouts.[10][11]
