"Congratulations on your historic victory from the bottom of my heart. Once again, you have shown the world that you are unmatched in the heaviest-weight category. This brings us immense pride and honor. You promised to bring home gold from Paris, and today’s historic victory fulfills that promise. Many more great victories are still to come. I am confident that hundreds, if not thousands, of Uzbek champions, will be prepared for the big rings at the boxing school of excellence named after you in our capital," the President said in his conversation with the two-time Olympic champion Bakhodir Jalolov.
