Boxing 360 no longer exists. The New York State Athletic Commission discontinued Yagubi's promoter's license in 2014, and released all Boxing 360 fighters from their contracts in 2014 after complaints, freeing them to sign with other promoters. Yagubi faced no legal action, but he abandoned his promotional career prematurely. Subsequently, one of Yagubi's forgotten unbeaten fighters, Guyana super middleweight prospect Lennox Allen, won a WBA title on USA ESPN, on February 15, 2019.
