Rozik, 20, went head-to-head in the ring with the Uzbekistan star in a four-round exhibition bout.

But it was Boykobilov who was at the better end of the clash for the majority but judges ended up calling the match a draw.

And shortly after the result was announced Rozik took to the mic to voice his anger at his rival's behaviour during the clash.

He said: "He just punched me on the back of my head and he thinks he won? Zero, no.

"Also I need six rounds, they make it three rounds why?"

Asked if he wanted a rematch Rozik grabbed the mic again and screamed: "He has to pay me because I am making him famous.

"He has to pay me and after that, I will do it. I do not want to without him paying me.

"He has to pay me for making him famous because I am bigger than him."

Boykobilov then walked over and via his translator said: "I will fight again in revenge.

"I think my punches were strong because he is dizzy now."

Rozik had hoped that a victory over Boykobilov would pave the way for a showdown with his longtime rival, Hasbulla who have been in a bitter feud for a couple of years.
