Tojibaev continued his boxing career after the 2008 Olympics, earning a bronze medal at lightweight at the 2010 Asian Games in China. There, he won his opening three bouts (two by TKO) before losing a decision to India's Vikas Krishan Yadav, who went on to win the gold.
Tojibaev went on to compete with mixed success in the World Series of Boxing (WSB) and with great success in AIBA professional boxing (APB). He won the 60kg APB World Championship by avenging a loss to champion Berik Abdrakhmanov, who had previously won gold at the Asian Championships and bronze at the World Championships.
