Uzbekistan’s Giyasov has remained inactive since stopping Franco Maximiliano Ocampo in four rounds on the undercard of Jaron Ennis-Eimantas Stanionis in April 2025, when he was pursuing a fight for the WBA title then held by Stanionis, won that night by Ennis, and later secured by Rolando “Rolly” Romero in victory over Ryan Garcia after it became vacant when Ennis moved up to 154lbs. He proceeded with the fight against Ocampo despite the then-recent death of his baby daughter.
