It was later announced that the boxers would have a rematch in January. At the 2019 World and Asian Championships, he achieved four victories in the professional ring.

“In fact, I am happy to be able to prove to everyone once again: I am worthy of the title of IBA World Champion. A rematch with Mirazizbek encourages me to box even better, to show all my speed and technique. I believe that Mirazizbek has taken a successful step, but if he wants, I will prove it to him again. Of course, it would be more interesting with a new opponent, but that’s waiting for me ahead! – Shumkov told .
