Biyarslanov secured his second professional win after knocking his opponent down three times in the opening round.[4]

On 29 March 2019, it was announced that Biyarslanov had signed a deal with Matchroom Sport where he would be promoted by Eddie Hearn.[5] On 20 April 2019, Biyarslanov fought against the experienced Cristian Arrazola. In the first round, Biyarslanov landed a combination of punches which forced his opponent to take a knee; Arrazola beat the count but was immediately put back on the canvas by a right hand. Arrazola beat the count again but referee Mark Simmons stopped the bout at the end of the opening round after he deemed Arrazola unfit to carry on.[6]
