Additional Information

General
PRO DEBUT
In August 2020 he made his professional boxing debut with a second-round stoppage win over compatriot Issa Akberbayev at the MTK Fight Night in Almaty, Kazakhstan. "To win a gold medal at the Olympics, you need to beat your opponents in such a way as to be a cut above them. If equal battles come out, then there is no one to blame - I will only blame myself for not being a cut above. Therefore, I try to take useful things from professional boxing in order to be better in amateur boxing. Despite having a good start in professional boxing, I will not leave amateur boxing until I become an Olympic champion." (olympic.kz, 24 Aug 2020; sports.kz, 17 Aug 2020)

FURTHER EDUCATION
He has studied for a master's degree at the Karaganda University of Kazpotrebsoyuz in Kazakhstan. (Facebook profile, 26 Jan 2022)
