Welterweight prospect Qudratillo Abduqaxorov will face Idd Pialari on Feb. 10, manager Vikram Swapragasam confirmed to RingTV, in a 12-round bout to take place at the Far East Square in Singapore.
Abduqaxorov (9-0, 6 knockouts) is a solid prospect who hails from Qorgontepa, Uzbekistan. The 23-year-old is coming off a fifth round stoppage win over Romeo Jakosalem on Jan. 7.
His most impressive win to date was on July 23, when he won a 12-round unanimous decision over Adones Cabalquinto, a fringe contender from the Philippines who had lost only once in 24 fights.
Abduqaxorov was originally scheduled to fight fringe contender Viktor Plotnykov but the Ukrainian fighter reportedly has a visa issue.
Pialari (17-2-1, 12 KOs), who will be fighting for the first time outside of his native Tanzania, has won his last seven bouts.
In another 12-round bout, unbeaten middleweight prospect Azizbek Abdugofurov, who also hails from Uzbekistan, will fight former two-division titleholder Sirimongkol Eaimthuam.
Abdugofurov (4-0, 4 KOs) has decimated his opposition since turning pro last May 17. In his most recent bout on Jan. 7, Abdugofurov stopped Aleksandr Bajawa, who entered the fight with a 41-2-4 record, after the second round.
Eaimthuam (91-2, 57 KOs) has not lost since losing the WBC junior lightweight title to Jesus Chavez in August of 2003, and has built a streak of 48 consecutive victories.
