Sanginov, who won the WBC Youth Middleweight title in his last bout, has begun training with Justin Gamber, the coach of undefeated super middleweight contender, Caleb "Sweethands" Plant (17-0, 10 KOs). Mekhrubon is looking forward to taking his career to new heights, as he will campaign at super-welterweight moving forward. Sanginov is currently a promotional free agent.

"I am excited to be training with Justin Gamber," Sanginov continued. "He is an experienced coach, who is making me into a world champion. The sparring I am getting is top notch sparring as well. I’ll be looking to be signing with a credible promoter in the near future."

Sanginov was an outstanding amateur, amassing a record of 105-14, which made him a heavy fan favorite in his native country of Tajikistan. His hometown fans are wanting to see how he progresses as a professional.

"I am going to make a statement in the world of boxing, especially in the super-welterweight division, and the world will know my name after my upcoming performances." Mekhrubon concluded.
