DAZN begins its action-packed international April on Easter Saturday.
Murodjon Akhmadaliev puts his IBF and WBA (Super) super-bantamweight titles on the line against Ryosuke Iwasa as DAZN presents a live boxing card from Uzbekistan on Saturday.
Should the home hope come through this stern test, he aims to embark on a unification quest at 122lbs later on in 2021.
“When you fight at home, defending what belongs to you, that’s probably the most important fight,” said Akhmadaliev. “To give a good fight under the bright lights, that’s what I’m looking forward to. It’s a dream for any fighter to perform at home.
