At 20, Timur Pirnazarov stepped away from competition and began coaching other athletes. Ten years later, a sparring session in the United States convinced him to start training for himself again. The Kazakh boxer explains what led him to turn professional and why he hopes to open a gym of his own one day.

From the youth world championships to coaching

Timur took up boxing at nine in Karaganda. The official draw for the 2012 AIBA Youth World Championships lists him as representing Kazakhstan in the 60 kg class. After stepping away from competition, he coached young boxers and went on to help MMA fighters prepare. That work also took him to American Top Team in the United States, he says.

A comeback that took him to Florida

Timur says he made his professional debut in the United States in October 2024. He recalls that his family’s support mattered in his decision, given the costs and the time away from home. On 16 May 2026 in Miami, Timur defeated Jaylen Green by TKO at 1:38 of the first round, according to the Florida Athletic Commission’s official results.

Opening a gym of his own

Represented by Tunal Group, Timur wants to continue his career internationally. He is also thinking about what comes after boxing. He hopes to open a gym where young people who want to box and people who simply want to get active can train. After years of preparing other athletes, he wants to pass on what he learned on both sides of the ring.
