Dubai-based Tajik internet sensation Abdu Rozik, who stands just over three feet tall, is preparing for a significant milestone in his life — tying the knot with an Emirati girl from Sharjah.
Expressing his excitement, Rozik stated, “I cannot imagine anything more precious than this love. I cannot wait to start my new journey in life.”
The wedding, scheduled for July 7 at an undisclosed location in the UAE, was confirmed by the International Fighting Championship Management (IFCM), Rozik’s management company. An IFCM spokesperson remarked, “Abdu Rozik is thrilled about it. We’re all delighted for him and wish the couple the best.”
Rozik, 20, will marry Amira, his 19-year-old Emirati bride-to-be, whom he met at Cipriani Dolci at Dubai Mall in February.
Although details of the celebrations remain confidential, IFCM revealed that it is a love marriage, with the couple recently getting engaged.
Hailing from the Bangkent region of Tajikistan and born into a family of gardeners, Rozik overcame childhood rickets to achieve success. Starting with meager earnings of less than Dh2 a day, singing at a local bazaar, he has since become a celebrated influencer.
Today, Rozik is a well-known figure in Tajikistan with over 8.2 million followers on Instagram. His popularity surged following news of his mixed martial arts (MMA) fight with rival Hasbulla Magomedov, and a video of their pre-fight press conference went viral. Rozik’s journey includes receiving the UAE Golden Visa and being crowned ‘Celebrity Influencer of the Year’.
Having collaborated with esteemed artists like Grammy winner AR Rahman and renowned songwriter-producer RedOne, known for hits with global pop icons, Rozik has firmly established himself in the international spotlight.
Rozik also appeared as a contestant on Bigg Boss, an Indian reality show franchise.
Earlier this year, he launched the Habibi restaurant, taking over the expansive former East 59th venue at Victoria Gate in Leeds.
