Abdu Rozik Says That Ronaldo Said He Was Abdu's Fan — Instagram @abdu_rozik

Abdu Rozik considers the moment when Cristiano Ronaldo expressed his admiration for him as one of the most significant experiences in his life.

At 20 years of age, Rozik is a social media sensation boasting over eight million followers on Instagram. He has been engaged in a prolonged feud with fellow influencer Hasbulla and eagerly anticipates a showdown with him in the boxing ring.

Similar to Hasbulla, the Tajikistani sensation has a growth deficiency, a result of developing rickets during his childhood. Nevertheless, his public image has propelled him to global stardom, even earning the admiration of Manchester United legend, Cristiano Ronaldo.

In an exclusive interview with the Daily Star, Rozik shared the story of how he learned about Ronaldo’s admiration for him during an unexpected encounter in an elevator.

“Ronaldo is my dream person to meet,” Rozik expressed.

“I see him and my hands are shaking. I am telling him that I am a huge, huge fan and he’s laughing because he says that he is a fan of me! I’m shocked! “I am saying ‘no way, no way’. We took a picture and it was one of the big moments in my life.”

Rozik is determined to settle his feud with Hasbulla by stepping into the boxing ring, as he believes Hasbulla is envious of his talents.

“I am a singer, actor, boxer. I have so many talents. I have DJ talent,” he emphasized. “Hasbulla has no talent, only just his boxing and talking, it’s all me, me, me, me. He does not have more talent. He’s jealous of something. I have been on so many shows, reality TV and everything in the UK.”

The only time the two met face-to-face was in 2021 before their initially scheduled fight, which was eventually cancelled due to the Russian Dwarf Athletic Association deeming it ‘unethical.’

“We were in Uzbekistan and we did face to face,” Rozik recounted. . “He has tried to hit me, I pushed him back and he fell. After that, he has been a little scared for me. He is always trying to be first hitting and pushing. He is looking weak, not strong.”
