Official weigh-in results for ACA 203 have been released, with all fighters successfully making weight except two. Kholmurod Nurmatov weighed in at 58.7 kg, exceeding the flyweight limit by 1 kg. Shamil Boraev missed weight more significantly, coming in at 68.85 kg, a 2.05 kg overage for the featherweight division. The event features 17 scheduled bouts across multiple weight classes, headlined by Azam Gaforov versus Aren Akopyan at flyweight and Faridun Odilov versus Dauren Ermekov at catchweight. The event takes place tomorrow in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, beginning at 16:00 Moscow time.
Two fighters came in heavy ahead of ACA 203, with official weigh-in results confirming a pair of weight misses before the promotion's latest card in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
Kholmurod Nurmatov tipped the scales at 58.7 kg, putting him 1 kg over the flyweight limit. The overage is notable given the evening's main event sits in that same division, where Azam Gaforov meets Aren Akopyan to headline a 17-bout card. Nurmatov's miss adds an unwanted subplot to the flyweight proceedings.
The more significant miss came from Shamil Boraev, who weighed in at 68.85 kg for a featherweight contest — a 2.05 kg overage that represents a meaningful failure to make the divisional limit. Weight cuts of that size rarely go unnoticed, and Boraev's opponent will now face a decision on whether to proceed under adjusted terms.
The remainder of the card came in without issue across multiple weight classes. Also featured on the bill is a catchweight contest between Faridun Odilov and Dauren Ermekov, rounding out a headline slate that gives the Tashkent crowd several marquee matchups to follow.
Why it matters
- Nurmatov's flyweight miss clouds the division on a night its top bout sits at the same weight class
- Boraev's 2.05 kg overage is among the larger misses of the ACA calendar year and may affect bout agreements
- ACA 203 is scheduled to get underway at 16:00 Moscow time, with 17 bouts across the card
