Navbakhor Khamidova (born 7 February 2001) is an Uzbekistani boxer who competes in the welterweight division. She won a medal at the 2023 AIBA Women's World Boxing Championships. She is also a two-time medalist at the Asian Amateur Boxing Championships.

Amateur career

Khamidova won the silver medal at the 2021 Asian Championships after losing to Valentina Khalzova. She would win the gold medal the following year at the 2022 Asian Championships, having defeated Choi Hong-eun.[1]

At the end of September 2021, Khamidova won a bronze medal at the 58th Military World Championship in Moscow (Russia) held under the auspices of the International Military Sports Council. In the semifinal, she had lost to Saadat Dalgatova, the latter in whom went on to win the gold medal.[2][3]

In March 2023, Khamidova competed at the IBA Women's World Boxing Championships, losing to Imane Khelif in the quarterfinals; however, Khelif was disqualified for failing to meet the International Boxing Association's (IBA) eligibility criteria. According to the Algerian Olympic Committee, Khelif was disqualified due to medical reasons; later reports indicated her testosterone levels were too high to compete.[4][5] Khamidova was thus awarded a bronze medal.[6][7]
