Ortikov Unbowed After Split Decision Defeat in Bangkok
On June 26 at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Aslamjon Ortikov suffered the first loss of his professional career. He dropped a razor-thin split decision to Asadula Imangazaliev in a bid for the vacant ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Championship. Ortikov entered the fight undefeated at 24-0 and landed clean punches, push kicks and spinning backfists. He emerged unscathed while drawing blood from his opponent, yet two judges awarded the win to Imangazaliev. “I did my best and showed everyone a great fight,” Ortikov said. He now plans a brief break with family before returning stronger and confident that his best days lie ahead.
