Mini bio
How it started.
Madrimov grew up in the Khiva region of Uzbekistan, the eldest of three siblings. In a 2019 interview, he recalled collecting wood for the family stove and described his family’s support. He began boxing as a child and became a national champion within two years of starting.
From amateur medals to the paid ranks.
He won the 2017 Asian Championships and the 2018 Asian Games before turning professional in November 2018. His debut brought a sixth-round stoppage of Vladimir Hernandez and the WBA Inter-Continental super welterweight title. He signed a co-promotional deal with Matchroom Boxing in March 2019.
The world-title moment.
In March 2024, he stopped Magomed Kurbanov in the fifth round to become WBA super welterweight world champion in his eleventh professional fight. His first defense came against Terence Crawford in Los Angeles that August, where he lost by unanimous decision.
The next chapter.
He went the distance with Vergil Ortiz Jr. in February 2025, losing another unanimous decision. After shoulder and knee surgery, he returned in January 2026 to outpoint Luis David Salazar in Las Vegas.
