“After Ramadan, I will sign up for a 70kg male weight at Lion Championship. I am ready to play this year. Even though I have to go up from not being rated, I feel this is not a problem,” Jovidon Khojaev shared on the personal page about the ability to attend Lion Championship.
In the past, Jovidon Khojaev participated in the first season of Lion Championship. He played 1 match at 84kg weight and won. In that match, Jovidon Khojaev was completely overwhelmed by a Vietnamese boxer. He probed the opponent in the first half and won easily in the second half.
Entering 2023, Jovidon Khojaev decided to go abroad. He was contracted with Cage Warriors, one of the most prestigious MMA tournaments in the world. After launching Cage Warriors, Khojaev returned to Vietnam, where he had many years of training. This boxer also expressed his desire to attend Lion Championship.
Statistics on Tapology show that Khojaev was born in 1998, a Tajikistan boxer. He owns a professional MMA record table of 6 matches, including 2 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses. The victory of Khojaev at Lion Championship is counted as one of 3 wins in the amateur playground.
According to the Charter of Lion Championship 2024, foreign boxers who want to attend the tournament need at least 6 months to live and work in Vietnam. Therefore, Khojaev was eligible to register. He may soon target the top group of fighters in the weight of 70kg, where Nguyen Van Kamil is holding the belt.
