THREE-FOOT tall Abdu Rozik, the Tajikistani singer who came to prominence on Indian reality show Bigg Boss 16, is getting married.
Here’s everything we know about his fiancée Amira — and when the couple is tying the knot.
Who is Abdu Rozik’s fiancee Amira?
The identity of Amira is somewhat of a mystery.
Speaking to the Hindustan Times, Rozik said: “Her name is Amira and she is 19 years old.
“She is studying business administration in a university in Sharjah.
“She lives here and we both will make our home together here only.
“She is the most beautiful girl I have ever met.”
And after accusations of his wedding being a publicity stunt, he added: “Just because I am not like others, people think I cannot get married.
“Just like everyone else, I also have a heart. I want to love someone, get married and have babies.
‘There are so many people who are physically challenged. But they settle down and live their life happily.
“I am aware how people are saying it’s a prank and that I’m doing all this for publicity.
“But the whole world is watching what I’m doing through social media. I have over 8.2 million followers on Instagram. I will never fake something like that.”
And as to why Amira’s identity is somewhat hidden in the pictures he shared on social media, Rozik told the Free Press Journal: “I come from a country where we are not allowed to show the faces of our wives to people.
“We both are very religious. We follow the same culture and even she is not comfortable sharing her pictures on social media.”
How did Abdu Rozik and Amira meet?
According to the man himself — whose full name is Abdu Rozik Savriqul Muhammadroziqi — it was love at first sight, at least from his side.
Speaking about how they first met, Rozik told the Hindustan Times: “It was so random… I had gone out to grab a bite at an eatery in Dubai.
Just like everyone else, I also have a heart. I want to love someone, get married and have babies

“I never thought I would be lucky enough to meet the love of my life there.
“I approached her and asked for her number, and that’s how we met.
“From the moment I met her, I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.”
When will Abdu Rozik and Amira marry?
The wedding was postponed so Rozik can make his boxing debut.
Abdu Rozik vs Erali Boyqobilov takes place on Saturday, July 6 — just one day before the singer was due to marry Amira.
Rozik told SunSport last November: “Really I think Hasbulla is zero, nothing.
“He doesn’t have any talent at all. I have singing talent. I have acting talent. I have boxing talent. I have DJ ing talent.
“I’m intelligent. I have so much talent but Hasbullah doesn’t have any talent. I’m always ready, he’s scared of me.
“Because he doesn’t have any talent, he’s nothing, I don’t know why people love him so much and why people are supporting him.
“He’s a chicken he doesn’t want to fight me. I’m ready. Hasbullah I’m coming for you and smashing your face in!”
It is is part of the Social Knockout 3 card in Dubai, which kicks off at 7pm local time in Dubai — this is 4pm BST (11am ET).
Expect Rozik vs Boyqobilov to get underway at around 9pm BST (4pm ET).
The fight will be broadcast live on Ex-Sports, and organisers have said the live stream will be free to watch on the app.
Social Knockout 3’s full fight card for has yet to be released, although some highlights have been unveiled.
The UAE’s number one YouTuber Mo Vlogs will also be making his boxing debut, taking on his close friend Shero.
While Birmingham rap royalty Stefflon Don will be performing during the musical interlude.
Rozik’s combat sport bow comes one day before he was due to tie the knot with Amira on July 7, 2024 in Dubai.
But the 20-year-old has said the fight will give him and his fiancee financial security going forward, adding that his wife supports the decision.
He said: “I never imagined that I’ll get the chance to fight for a title in my life.
“After so many good things happening this year for my career and my love life, unfortunately, I have to postpone the wedding as this match will give us huge financial security for the future.
“Amira supports my decision fully as it will change a lot for us. It’s the first-ever title for someone my size and I have a heavy training camp to endure as well these days.”
A new date for the wedding is yet to be set.
