Nineteen years old, Panjakent, Tajikistan-born Muhammadroziqi Savriqul, or more popularly Abdu Rozik, stands three feet and one inch. However, the singer and reality show participant can pack a smacking punch. After all, he even dared challenge Hasbulla Magomedov two years ago. Last year, fans saw him enter Sushisamba, a restaurant in Dubai serving Brazilian, Peruvian, and Japanese delicacies, with boxing gloves on.

Soon he lands at the table where Tyson Fury sits with his friends. The reigning Heavyweight champion offers him the right palm to throw a few punches. And Rozik obliges him unhesitatingly. Indeed, with delight, Fury gets up to the Tajik singer’s utter astonishment, shouting, “Oh, my God!” The champion returned the compliment by sharing that he is a big fan of Rozik: “I’m a big fan of yours, a big fan….

More than a year after that pleasant encounter, the duo joined hands. It was time for Abdu Rozik to take the plunge for his fans. And what did he do? He took out a sparkly can of ‘Furocity’ for all fans to see. Donning ‘The Gyspy King’ trunks and the WBC belt dangling from his shoulders, Rozik said, “Hello, this is Abdu Ruzik; I’am [the] WBC Champion. This is the champion drinks.” Tyson Fury shared this lovely collaboration early this morning through his Instagram story.

As he prepared for the second title defense against Dillian Whyte scheduled for April 23, Tyson Fury introduced ‘Furocity’ to the world early last year.
