The 2019 world champion said he wants to "focus" on his professional career after the Games in the French capital.

Set to face Fernando Arzola of Cuba for a second International Boxing Association (IBA) World Championships title, the 28-year-old was seen supporting his compatriots here after he received a walkover from Ayoub Ghadfa of Spain in the semi-finals.

He defeated Danis Latypov of Bahrain, Teremoana Junior of Australia and Kamshybek Kunkabayev of Kazakhstan on his way to the final.

The bout against Kunkabayev in the quarter-finals was four years in the making.

The duo last fought for the world title in 2019 in Yekaterinburg, with Jalolov winning in the Russian city.

But after the World Championships in his home country, Jalolov said Paris 2024 will be the priority.

"I want to be a two-time Olympic champion," he said.

"Maybe I could stop after that.

"I want to go to the United States and focus on being a full-time professional boxer.

"I have won most of it in amateur boxing and want a different challenge."

Jalolov turned professional in 2018 and defeated Hugo Trujillo of Mexico on his debut.

Since then, he has had a successful career, winning the North American Boxing Federation junior heavyweight title - his first - in 2019, when he knocked out Brendan Barrett in the first-round.

His most recent professional bout was against American Curtis Harper in November 2022.

But for now, Jalolov has set his sights on the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games, a continental qualifier for the Olympics.

"Maybe I will rest for a bit and start with preparations for the Asian Games," he said.

"It is a very important tournament for me.

"I want to qualify for the Olympics in the first attempt.

"The plan is to fight in two or three professional bouts before the Olympics.

"We are talking with some people in the United States, but nothing is confirmed yet."

Jalolov, who is a sensation in Uzbekistan, is followed everywhere he goes.

Obliging to every selfie request at the Humo Arena, the super-heavyweight boxer said he feels the pressure all the time.

"Before the bout, it is a different kind of pressure," he added.

"You need to be fully focused when you enter the ring.

"If you win, then there are so many people around you.

"But I am used to it now.

"I want to give my country another Olympic gold medal."
