Naimjon Tuhtaboyev (Uzbek: Naimjon To'xtaboyev; born 29 January 1993) is an Uzbek Lethwei and Muay Thai fighter who currently competes in the World Lethwei Championship (WLC),[1] where he is the reigning WLC Middleweight World champion.[2]

Tuhtaboyev became the WLC champion by beating the previously undefeated Too Too at WLC 11: Battlebones in Yangon, Myanmar.[3]

Career

Lethwei career

On October 14, 2018, Tuhtaboyev impressed in his Lethwei debut, when he dominated in his fight against local hero Phyan Thway.[4] Phyan Thway, who was known for having difficulties in cutting weight, looked significantly lighter than Tuhtaboyev. The performance of the Uzbek fighter caught the attention of the World Lethwei Championship (WLC).[5]

World Lethwei Championship

In 2019, Tuhtaboyev signed an exclusive Lethwei contract with World Lethwei Championship and challenged undefeated, reigning WLC Middleweight Champion Too Too. On October 25, 2014, both men had fought each other under Muay Thai rules at THAI FIGHT in Thailand, with Tuhtaboyev emerging victorious by split decision. Since then, Too Too had been celebrated in his home country of Myanmar, winning the WLC Middleweight title in 2018. Meanwhile, Tuhtaboyev had been more focused on Muay Thai, having been involved in several big fights.[5] In their Lethwei rematch, the WLC Middleweight World Championship would be on the line.[6]

On January 31, 2020, Tuhtaboyev faced Too Too inside the Thein Pyu Stadium, with the event being streamed live on UFC Fight Pass.[7] Both fighters were looking for the knockout, with Too Too being effective with his leg kicks and headbutts. However, Tuhtaboyev's more precise and accurate strikes proved to be the difference and earned him the victory via split decision, as well as the WLC Middleweight World Championship.[8]
