A huge WSB double-bill weekend in Tashkent sees Uzbek Tigers host the Puerto Rico Hurricanes on Friday night, as the home side seeks to pile the pressure on defending champions Kazakhstan in Group D on Saturday. The one-sided contest in Week 2 in Puerto Rico heralded the arrival of the Tigers’ brand new franchise in style, but the Hurricanes will be focused on revenge and causing an upset that would earn the side their first win in a tough preliminary group.

Uzbekistan's Abrorjon Kodirov moved up from the light flyweight class two years ago and will go out first for the Tigers against the Hurricanes' top Colombian boxer Ceiber David Avila. Since switching weights, Kodirov has claimed national championship silver and bronze medals and was involved in a tight Week 4 match against Azerbaijan’s Magomed Ibiyev, while his opponent reached the last eight at the 2015 AIBA World Championships in Doha.

The second bout sees the hosts’ World Championship bronze medalist Elnur Abduraimov go up against WSB newcomer Puerto Rican Steven Ruidiaz, before weltwereight Dostonbek Turdiev tackles another Hurricanes debutant, Samuel Alexis Cedeno Roman.
The Tigers can count on their hard-hitting former Asian Confederation gold medalist Shukhrat Abdullaev in a big bout four battle against Hurricanes' second Colombian import Juan Carlos Carrillo, who has bagged podium finishes at all of his recent continental appearances, including the 2015 Panamerican Games. The evening’s action will be rounded off by the super heavyweights, with the Uzbek WSB veteran Sardorbek Abdullaev facing Puerto Rico Hurricanes' Lithuanian boxer Mantas Valavicius.
