WBO Champion Alimkhanuly Immediately Calls for Unification Fights!
Newly elevated WBO 160-pound champion Janibek “Qazaq Style” Alimkhanuly (12-0, 8KOs) is ready to take over the division. The unbeaten champion was recently elevated to full champion after Demetrius Andrade vacated the title. Beforehand, he easily defeated Danny Dignum in two rounds to become the interim champion.

CHAMPION HIT LIST!
Now officially a champion, Qazaq Style is not interested in feasting on inferior competition. He wants to face his fellow champions in the division. Alimkhanuly publicly announced he wants to tango with WBC champion Jermall Charlo (32-0, 22KOs). And while he hasn’t mentioned the name of fellow countryman and unified 160-pound champion Gennady Golovkin (42-1-1, 37KOs), the IBF and WBA titlist stands in the way of his friend and his goal of becoming the undisputed middleweight champion.
Interestingly enough, the confidence of Qazaq Style is so high that he feels no champion goes the distance with him. He took to social media to say so!
The middleweight division, which is in need of some rejuvenation, is getting just that from Alimkhanuly. He seems hell-bent on fighting the best his division has to offer. Let’s just hope boxing politics doesn’t get in the way and that both Charlo and Golovkin feel the same way!
