On October 4, Janibek Alimkhanuly (15-0, 10 KOs) will defend his middleweight titles against unbeaten Russian-born fighter Andrei Mikhailovich (21-0, 13 KOs) at The Star in Sydney, Australia in an event promoted by No Limit Boxing.
Top Rank controversially lost the purse bid with No Limit offering $351,000, with Alimkhanuly’s promoter Top Rank bidding $350,000. The fight was originally supposed to take place on July 13, with the bout dramatically cancelled with Janibek hospitalized due to dehydration following a tough weight cut. The Kazak-born fighter was last seen when he comprehensively stopped Vincenzo Gualtieri, to win the IBF title. Mikhailovich blew away Les Sherrington in the first round of their clash, back in April this year.
