DAZN FACE OFF: Wardley vs. Dubois

Watch explosive encounter here

---

Jalolov will face Croatia's Agron Smakici and he will be turning his attention to the show’s main event if victorious with professional honours his focus after landing multiple amateur prizes including two Olympic gold medals. 

A professional since 2018, Jalolov has hardly been tested, but his run in the paid code has been interrupted on numerous occasions to focus on the Olympics where he tasted success in both 2020 and 2024. 

In Tokyo five years ago, Jalolov overcame current contenders, Frazer Clarke and Richard Torrez to grab the top prize before resuming his pro career and he returned to take gold in 2024 when dominating in Paris. 

With the heavyweight division currently moving into a new era with the likes of Moses Itauma, Agit Kabayel, and Torrez all moving into tittle contention, Jalolov will want to do the same with the possibility of Oleksandr Usyk’s three belts perhaps becoming available at some point in the next year. 

He can boost his chances next month when he returns to the ring for his first fight of 2026 and one that will take place on an event with massive significance.
